I suspect the “drink from the toilet” claim was most likely a case of third-worlders not understanding how American toilets work and guards trying to explain to them that they can drink from the spout above the toilet, plus perhaps some nuance being lost in translation, both between the guard and the immigrant, and then the immigrant and the activists / reporters.
