Biden Admin Debunks Infamous Border Patrol ‘Whipping’ Incident Once and for All

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) found that Border Patrol agents who many mistook to be “whipping” Haitian migrants at the border never whipped anyone, according to CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus.

The September 2021 “whipping” incident took place in Del Rio, Texas, when Border Patrol agents on horseback attempted to push back dozens of Haitian migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. Several agents were seen using their horses’ reins to maneuver around the migrants and push them back.

Many commentators, including prominent Democrats and activists, mistook the reins for whips and alleged the agents were whipping the Haitian migrants.

“Whips are not part of Border Patrol training or equipment,” Magnus said, adding that CBP found no evidence Border Patrol agents struck any migrants, either intentionally or on accident, with their reins.

However, CBP did find that the Border Patrol unit involved in the incident “twirled” their reins in violation of CBP guidance, according to Magnus. (Read more from “Biden Admin Debunks Infamous Border Patrol ‘Whipping’ Incident Once and for All” HERE)
