Facebook ruled this weekend that a post dedicated to Officer Ronil Singh, who was shot and killed in the line of duty by an illegal immigrant, was in violation of its community standards.
Officer Singh was shot during a traffic stop by Gustavo Perez Arriaga, who was in the country illegally with two prior DUIs.
The Daily Caller reports a post to honor Singh expressed the user’s desire for President Trump and Congress to build a wall along the country’s southern border.
Shortly after the post was made, Facebook reportedly posted a message to the user saying, “This post goes against our Community Standards on hate speech, so no one else can see it.”
In response to backlash, Facebook later restored the post.
