Biden Admin Finds Way To Punish Border Patrol Agents Falsely Accused Of “Whipping” Migrants Even After Clearing Them
“the agency’s Office of Professional Responsibility found multiple infractions, but ones that were a far cry from Biden’s claim that migrants were whipped”
As you may recall, in September of last year, Border Patrol agents were accused of “whipping” migrants at the southern border.
It was a total lie, pushed by Democrats and the media. Even the White House embraced the lie without knowing all the facts.
Biden ran to the cameras as fast as he could and declared, “those people will pay.”
In September, Biden smeared Border Patrol agents: “It’s outrageous. I promise you those people will pay. An investigation underway now and there will be consequences.”

Now, months later, an investigation has found that these agents didn’t whip anyone, yet they are still going to be punished. Why?
FOX News reports:
CBP finds ‘no evidence’ Border Patrol agents whipped Haitian migrants, but still seeks to discipline them
The head of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on Friday said there was “no evidence” that Border Patrol struck Haitian migrants with their reins or used whips in Del Rio, Texas, last year, implicitly rebuking the false claim made by President Biden and other top Democrats — even as the agency recommended punishment for the agents for infractions such as “offensive” language and unnecessary force.
“[DHS’ Office of Professional Responsibility] found no evidence Border Patrol agents involved in this incident struck anyone with their reins intentionally or otherwise,” CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus said at a press conference, in which he also said that agents were not carrying whips…
While the core complaint against the agents was found to be false, the agency’s Office of Professional Responsibility found multiple infractions, but ones that were a far cry from Biden’s claim that migrants were whipped. Magnus said that an agent was found to have used “denigrating and offensive” language against migrants regarding national origin and gender, and was accused of having maneuvered a horse around a child in an “unsafe manner.”
The report also faults agents for using an “unmoderated” tactical radio, of having insufficient training for the situation, and for an “unnecessary use of force” to drive the migrants back.
In other words, they didn’t do the awful things Democrats and the media accused them of, so other reasons were found to ruin their lives.
Of course, no one high up in government is being held accountable for the border crisis that led to this situation. That would be crazy.
What’s being done to these men is a disgrace.

And the flood at the border continues, unimpeded.
NEW: Another enormous single group of approximately 300 migrants have crossed illegally into Eagle Pass. Many of them struggling in the heat. We gave out all the water we had. There are currently only two Border Patrol agents on scene, as they remain overwhelmed. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/m6bu5eGhJt

Some people have suggested that Biden deserves to be impeached for not defending the southern border.
It’s difficult to disagree.

What this shows is that rules, laws, even words themselves can be twisted to mean anything the Biden Administration wants them to mean.
It all depends on who did what to whom.
Paging Comrade Beria … please pick up the courtesy Red telephone…
Not only do dead people still vote Democrat, but the ghosts of the Stalin era actively haunt the halls of power in DC. Definitely channeled now.
The union representing these guys needs to make a very loud and clear statement to Biden and Mayorkas about this. Their members better not lose one penny of pay.
Bucky – Unions are supporters of the present progressive regime.
Not their union.
These guys work at the behest of the State of Texas….says it all!
The verdict is innocent. The sentence is death.
It’s absolutely ridiculous
When do we ride?
Criminals, and illegals are Criminals, are the Marxists best friends. They have rights over you so do not interfere with them.
Your right, these are criminals, absolutely criminals
Benito triumphs from the grave
As much as I want to blame Biden this is just normal government nonsense you would see in any government bureaucracy. Higher-ups in Customs and Border Protection were embarrassed because they got called out on their bullshit and like typical government bureaucrats they have to “get their pound of flesh” somehow so they can say they were in the right and the employees were in the wrong.
This is why you see petty stuff like going after officers for using curse words or maneuvering a horse in an unsafe manner.
These guys will be punished. It will go to arbitration and they will probably win and have their files cleaned up.
As someone who works in government I’ve seen this first hand. They can’t get you on what they wanted to get you on (whipping people in this case) so they will just pivot and comb through every bit of the incident to look for anything to get you. If they had a policy that you had to wear a certain shoe and they saw you were wearing a non-department approved shoe they’d write you up for that as well. That’s how petty these things can get in these situations.
And who embarrassed them? Perhaps a POTATUS with an empty shell of a skull that doesn’t know what the fuck he is talking about and doing so with regularity to the American public.
The horse was offended by the language.
They need to get AOC to interview the horse to determine if indeed it was offended.
It’s just going to want to date her.
Katherine the Great she’s not.
She’s not even Kamala the Redundant.
wonder how many of these plonks who mete out “discipline” to these agents have ever been on a horse? in a river? surrounded by agitated humans?
these guys were having to control themselves, powerful animals and an unruly mob of people without anyone getting hurt/killed–that’s a pretty full plate
these administrative pogues should be made to come on down and give it a try themselves or piss the hell off
“Those agents have now been cleared of wrongdoing.”
Repeat the line.
“The report also faults agents for… having insufficient training for the situation”
What’s next? Arresting the ex of a deadbeat dad for having insufficient money to raise the kids?
I was informed that the patriarchal system of justice is irreparably flawed, that ‘women’ can do anything a man can do and that ‘women’ must exercise exclusive choice re pregnancy. Given the prevalence of these views why are ‘child support’ and the term ‘deadbeat dad’ still in use? Their continued use is triggering to so many.
Surely the purveyors of the modern woke movement wish to completely dismantle these sad relics of a bygone era which emphasized obsolete notions of responsibility and shamefully embraced traditional views of gender roles which only served to subjugate ‘women’?
Having insufficient training is not on them, it’s on their supervisors.
It’s their higher ups pushing for more funding any way they can, even if it’s for diversity training (with the hope that they can divert some away to actual adult stuff).
My point.
How can you fault the agents for “having insufficient training for the situation”? That is a fault of leadership. If they do lack training then everything else alleged is a result of that.
This is nothing. How quickly we forget Officers Ramos and Compean. They were put in prison for shooting a friggin’ drug dealer fleeing arrest. That was under Dim Bulb Dubya. He let them rot for almost 4 years before commuting their sentences. With patriots like Dubya, who needs traitors like Pedo Joe. But all you dear readers, please keep clinging to your partisan demagoguery!
