Another Day, Another Government Snafu
Alright, pull up a chair, folks, because I’ve got another story that’ll make you want to bang your head against a brick wall. It’s September 2025, and what do you know? Our trusty U.S. Customs and Border Protection – went to the wrong house in El Paso [1]. Not only that, but in their infinite wisdom, they shot and killed a family’s dog, a Rottweiler named “Chop” [1]. I mean, what in the ever-loving hell is going on? This isn’t a game of ‘Pin the Tail on the Donkey’; these are people’s homes and lives we’re talking about [1].
According to the report, CBP knocked on this family’s door, and the son answered. They said they had a tip that there was an “illegal immigrant” in the house. The son said there was no such person, but they were welcome to search the house. He also told them that their dog, Chop, could be aggressive, and they would need to wait a second while he put Chop in the bathroom for the agents’ safety.
While the son waited outside, the agents entered the house. Apparently, one of them decided that he was gonna search the bathroom after being warned there was an aggressive dog in there, and when Chop did precisely what the agents were warned about, one of the agents shot Chop.
You allowed the agents to enter your home because you have nothing to hide, and your beloved family member, a dog named Chop, is gone. Shot. Dead [1]. It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion, except the train is government incompetence, and the tracks are laid straight through your living room. A distraught family is left to pick up the pieces [1].
‘Wrong Home’? You Don’t Say!
Now, the official word, or what we’ve pieced together from Fox14 News and social media accounts, is that this was a raid on the wrong home [1]. The wrong home. How many times do we have to hear this before someone says, “Maybe we should double-check the address before we send in the cavalry?” It’s not rocket science; it’s a basic procedure, like checking your gas gauge before a road trip.
This isn’t just a simple mistake; it’s a colossal screw-up that cost an innocent creature its life and left a family devastated [1]. It makes you wonder what kind of intelligence gathering, or lack thereof, leads to such a preventable tragedy. Someone needs to get their act together, and fast.
The Predictable ‘Use of Force’ Review
And what’s the response from CBP, you ask? Oh, it’s a classic. They’re “reviewing the ‘use of force incident’” [1]. Well, isn’t that just peachy? It’s the same old song and dance every time a government agency messes up. It’s like letting the fox guard the hen house, then being surprised when a chicken goes missing.
How many reviews do we need before we see some actual accountability? The incident has drawn public scrutiny, and rightly so [1]. This isn’t just a statistic; it’s a dog named Chop, a family’s companion, gone because someone couldn’t get the address right. It’s enough to make a person spit nails.
Then again, CBP falls under the “watchful eye” of Kristi Noem, she of puppy-killer fame. So, are we really surprised?
The agent who shot the dog was asked to identify themselves. They not only didn’t, but they hid from the family. Because, yeah, avoiding responsibility is something we expect from Noem’s idea of law enforcement.
Where Do We Go From Here?
So, here we are, watching another institution promise to “look into it.” Meanwhile, a family is grieving their dog, Chop, and wondering if their home is truly safe from those who are supposed to protect us [1]. The whole situation stinks to high heaven. It’s not just about a dog; it’s about competence, responsibility, and the trust that’s eroded with every boneheaded blunder.
We deserve better. Families and their pets deserve better than to be collateral damage in someone else’s mistaken raid. Let’s see if this “review” actually leads to anything more than a shrug and a quiet reassignment. My money’s on the shrug, unfortunately.
