Facebook Apologizes, Belatedly Restores Event Page for Anti-Caravan Protest

Facebook apologized Saturday evening to the administrators of an event page for a protest in San Diego against the migrant caravan, and restored the page — hours after the protest was scheduled to have begun.

San Diegans for Secure Borders (SDSB) founder Jeff Schwilk told Breitbart News Tonight on the Sirius XM Patriot Channel 125 on Friday evening that Facebook had removed the Saturday morning event, “STOP the Caravan of 1500 Illegal Aliens from Mexico,” and had put him in “Facebook jail” for 30 days, locking him out of his account.

“Our event page had been up for about four weeks and had about 950 people signed up to either attend or ‘interested’ in attending,” Schwilk told Senior Editor at Large Rebecca Mansour.

“There was nothing on it that ‘attacked’ illegal aliens, just the facts about their ongoing scam to claim fake asylum to waltz right into the U.S. Now it is gone,” he said. ” Zapped for hosting a 100% peaceful and lawful event to oppose the unlawful invasion of our country by up to 1,600 illegal aliens from Central America and Mexico.”

On Saturday evening, Facebook emailed Schwilk to tell him that the event page had been restored, citing “error.”

“A member of our team accidentally removed something you posted on Facebook,” the email from Facebook read. “This was a mistake, and we sincerely apologize for this error. We’ve since restored the content, and you should now be able to see it.”

In an email to Breitbart News, Schwilk credited Breitbart News Tonight with encouraging Facebook to restore the event page.

The group is no longer organizing a protest, but some members may attend a counter-demonstration against a pro-caravan group, Pueblo Sin Fronteras (People Without Borders), on Sunday. The demonstration is being held to “welcome” members of the caravan who are expected to request asylum at the border Sunday.

‘This Is a Real Crisis at Our Border’: VP Pence Backs Trump’s Push and Reiterates ‘No Wall, No Deal’

Image
The partial government shutdown continues into its fourteenth day as Democrats continue to battle against President Donald Trump’s demand for $5.6 billion in border wall funding, instead of coming up with an alternative solution. However, Vice President Mike Pence is backing the president as he said, “No wall, no deal.” During an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, Pence reiterated that the Trump administration’s focus is on border security, calling for the need for the border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The vice president explained that the president has made it clear “we’re here to make a deal” when meeting with top Democrats and Republicans on listening and negotiating funds. “You have no border security without a wall,” Pence said. “We will have no deal without a wall.” Pence went on to say there has been no negotiation — adding that they are prepared to listen and negotiate — on the border wall, claiming that even the American people know that “walls wor...

Cindy McCain on Jeffrey Epstein: ‘We All Knew What He Was Doing’

Image
Appearing earlier in January at an event on human trafficking, Cindy McCain, widow of the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), said that everyone was aware of deceased pedophile Jeffrey’s Epstein’s alleged sex crimes, and she criticized law enforcement for waiting so long to arrest him. A partial transcript is as follows: AUDIENCE MEMBER: I’m going to shoot straight. The perception among a lot of young people is that there is an untouchable ring of governmental and economic elites in this country that not only benefit, but actively participated in sex trafficking. Jeffrey Epstein was an example. Robert Kraft was arrested not for from here on trafficking charges. In terms of this as a grassroots movement, are these power players a priority for us right now? Can we even touch them or is this a pipedream we need to address in the future, somehow? CINDY MCCAIN: It’s like everything. It hides in plain sight. Epstein was hiding in plain sight. We all knew about him. We all knew what he was doin...
