Biden Admin Set to Discipline Border Patrol Agents Falsely Accused of ‘Whipping’ Illegal Immigrants

hen photos that at first appeared to show Border Patrol agents on horseback whipping Haitian migrants trying to cross the border illegally last September, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas promised there would be an investigation concluding in “days, if not weeks.”
Americans haven’t been privy to that investigation about the events in Del Rio, Texas. However, since then, we’ve discovered quite a bit about the incident. It turns out the agents weren’t “whipping” the migrants; this was merely an optical illusion in a photo that made it look like their horse reins were whips.
The photographer himself said so — publicly and emphatically. The Daily Caller reported in April that the agents were cleared of criminal misconduct.
Now, nine months into an investigation that was supposed to last days, a Fox News reporter says the agents will be hit with “administrative violations” by the DHS.
“Per federal source, DHS is preparing to discipline multiple horseback Border Patrol agents who were accused of ‘whipping’ Haitian migrants in Del Rio last summer,” national correspondent Bill Melugin wrote in a Twitter post Tuesday.
