A report from Customs and Border Protection blames Texas officials for feeding the conflict by wrongly enlisting Border Patrol agents to push migrants back into Mexico.
Photographers took pictures of members of a Border Patrol Horse Patrol chasing Haitian migrants, grabbing the shirt of at least one migrant and swirling the reins of their horses. Some news organizations reported that the agents seemed to be “whipping” the migrants.
The report did find, however, that agents “used force or the threat of force to drive migrants back into the Rio Grande River despite the fact they were well within the territorial boundary of the United States.” Border Patrol agents are supposed to arrest people who have crossed into the U.S. between legal ports of entry, not push them back into the river or into Mexico.
