Speaking to reporters at the White House Friday, President Joe Biden vowed to punished Border Patrol agents in Del Rio who used horses to stop illegal immigrants from entering the country earlier this week. 

"It's outrageous. I promise you, those people will pay," he said. 

Biden on the lie that border patrol were using whips on illegal immigrants at the border:

President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki have all continued to lie about Border Patrol agents "whipping" illegal Haitians. It never happened and yet, they're tripling down. 

The photojournalist who took the photos of Border Patrol agents earlier this week, which cynical political operatives and media have used to smear them, has debunked the narrative illegal immigrants were whipped. 

The photographer behind images depicting Border Patrol agents on horseback told KTSM things are not exactly what they seem when it comes to the photos.

The photographs, which were taken Sunday, appear to show agents on horses with a whip in hand. The photos caused outrage because from certain angles, it appears to show Border Patrol whipping migrants, but photographer Paul Ratje said he and his colleagues never saw agents whipping anyone.

“Some of the Haitian men started running, trying to go around the horses,” Ratje said.

Ratje is a photographer based in Las Cruces and has been in Del Rio since Friday. He said took the photographs from the Mexican side.

“I’ve never seen them whip anyone,” Ratje said.

Yesterday, the administration announced horses will no longer be used by agents in Del Rio, taking away a key tool for patrols.

Jon Anfinsen, president of the BP union’s chapter in Del Rio, responds to the horse unit being suspended:

“Suspending them all for even a brief amount of time takes away one of the few remaining units that have been in the field making arrests and rescues on a regular basics.”

DHS is expected to conclude an investigation into the agents and issue disciplinary action next week.

We're back to the Dem norm: all law enforcement are once again racist white-supremacists. The only exception to that theme was for the Capitol police on January 6th, when they were suddenly labeled heroes and patriots.

Until then, the Capitol police had been demonized like all other police, but the fact that on that day they were pitted against Trump supporters - they even shot and killed one!!! - provided them with temporary redemption.

_________

As a matter of fact, Agents were already banned from using motorized vehicles around parts of border, due to some environmental regulations. The horses were pretty much the only thing they had left. Now they have to patrol on feet, I guess. Pretty hard in the vast areas of SW.
BTW, the areas where agents are banned from using vehicles suffer huge environmental damage from migrants and their waste!

My “patience is wearing thin”

I promise you - we will pay...

We will “hunt you down and make you pay”. “There will be consequences.”

“But this moment demands action, and we cannot allow those who stand in the way of progress to prevent us from answering the call. “

Signed,

Dictator Joe

Biden's a big tough man when taking on law biding citizens, the police and border patrol, ICE and us... conservative Americans...

Guess the law biding should have gotten together and paid off Hunter or Hunter's hookers, and/or his drug dealers... and made sure 'THE BIG GUY' GOT HIS CUT.

Then maybe Biden would leave us $85 billion dollars worth of weapons to reverse engineering and sell. Or maybe he's just stop turning his dogs and press toadies on us...

I was referring to the voters. Malevolence on the part of the elected, appointed, and government union employees is a most appropriate word.

There would be no problem with the horse patrol — or many other problems if Allen West was governor. Here is his prescription for the problems on the border as stated to Tucker Carlson.

Don’t call them “Liberal”. There’s hardly anything liberal about them. Rather, call the buns what they really are-godless psycho Leftists.
