Border Patrol agents on horseback engaged in “unnecessary use of force” against non-threatening Haitian immigrants but didn’t whip any with their reins, according to a federal investigation of chaotic scenes along the Texas-Mexico border last fall.
“I promise you, those people will pay,” the president said then. “There is an investigation underway right now and there will be consequences.”
“I was counting on them to do a fair, through, comprehensive investigation with no attention to this outside influence,” Magnus said. Magnus said four Border Patrol personnel have been recommended for disciplinary action for their conduct, though he declined to discuss exactly what each had done to warrant possible punishment, or elaborate on what sanctions they could face. That comes after prosecutors in April declined to pursue criminal charges, he said.
“From the start, these agents have been smeared, lied about, and vilified by nearly everyone on the left," Morgan said in a statement. The use of force drove migrants back into the Rio Grande, despite their having been well within U.S. territory and not presenting threats — which was counter to CBP's mission, the report found.
