New footage obtained by Anthony Rubin’s watchdog outfit, Muckraker, and published by the Oversight Project shows a Red Cross employee in the northwestern town of Necoclí, Colombia, providing aid to an individual whom he apparently believed to be yet another migrant headed north for the human trafficking corridor multitudes have transited to get to the United States.
The footage also shows staff from MedGlobal — an NGO that, like the Red Cross, has received significant funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development — offering instruction and material aid to what was actually an undercover reporter, again working under the apparent assumption that he was a migrant planning to transit the Darién Gap.
Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project, told Blaze News, “The Red Cross is supposed to be keeping people safe. The idea that they’d coach illegal aliens to go through one of the most dangerous jungles on the planet on their way to breaking into the United States is absolutely upside down.”
Blaze News reached out to the Red Cross and to MedGlobal but did not immediately receive responses.
In the footage, a Red Cross employee identifies himself as a psychologist, then notes that it’s not easy being a migrant.
“My mission is to simply give you some strategies,” said the Red Cross employee. “There are some things that I think are important that you have in mind for your safety, yes? Because we know that making the journey to Mexico or the United States on this route has some risks, yes?”
