Yet the agents will still be disciplined for last September's incident
This news has yet to be announced on CNN, MSNBC, or other mainstream outlets. But the head of Customs and Border Protection stated this Friday that there was no evidence that the Border Patrol struck any Haitian migrant with their reins or used whips in Del Rio Texas. This announcement completely rebukes the false claims of President Biden and other top Democrats who villified Border agents.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi condemned what she stated was the inappropriate use of what appeared to be whips. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer decried the use of whips. And both President Biden and Vice President Harris promoted the false claims - which infuriated the Border agents.
National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Wrote:The moment he made that statement, the moment he said that those agents would pay, the moment he convicted those agents without any evidence, without any investigation, there could be no doubt in anybody's mind that these investigators were going to come back with some sort of charge against the agents. They had no choice.
While the core of the complaints against border agents was found to be false, the agency's office found various infractions... way different than what President Biden made claim. Such was the use of denigrating and offensive language against migrants, one agent maneuvering a horse around a child in an unsafe manner, and claims of using unnecessary force to drive migrants back.
After the announcement of the charges, Republicans slammed the CBP claiming the accusations for the disciplinary action was a desperate attempt by the Biden administration save face and justify their initial condemnation of the agents.
Rep John Katko Wrote:Months ago, these agents were cleared of any criminal wrongdoing by DHS’ Office of the Inspector General and the [OPR] through investigations. Border Patrol agents are leaving in record numbers and experiencing devastating impacts on their mental health as a result of the Biden Border Crisis. This is not what they signed up for. Our Border Patrol agents deserve better than this. Full stop.
