The Border Patrol agents at the center of a controversy stemming from their use of horses to block Haitian migrants from entering the U.S. have not yet been questioned over a month after the incident took place, according to a law enforcement official.

The Department of Homeland Security announced it temporarily suspended its horse patrol following an investigation into disturbing images of Border Patrol agents confronting migrants in Texas.stemming from their use of horses

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas promised a swift investigation into the horse patrol over a month ago, assuring lawmakers it would yield findings days later. As of publication, and despite multiple requests for comment from ABC News, the administration has not publicly announced any findings.

"The investigation is ongoing," a DHS spokesperson said in a statement to ABC News."The Department is committed to a thorough, independent, and objective process. We are also committed to transparency and will release the results of the investigation once it is complete." Jon Anfinsen, a Border Patrol agent and union leader, confirmed the mounted patrol agents remain on administrative duties, which he said has impacted the unit's ability to perform their normal patrol work.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki was unequivocal in announcing the end to the use of Border Patrol horses in Del Rio last month, calling it a"policy change." DHS officials clarified at the time that it was only a temporary suspension.

Trading Bitcoin with Mrs lovelybtc3 and Making my weekly withdraw was a very light process I was really afraid to start at first But now i have all needed guarantee to say lovelybtc3 is a true live rescuer Thanks for responding to my trade text with a Godly Heart.

Because this story has already been debunked by the guy that to the picture!

So who got whipped Nobody did. Media trying to make something out of nothing

WHY?

You get locked down for a year and $600 ... illegals get $450,000. Welcome to Biden’s America.

shocker.

abcnews continues to avoid questions about its vaccination policy & will not say how many have had their shots.

Because nothing happened.

ur only concern about border is a bogus story about agents? Not 1.75 million immigrants have entered our country this year that with no Covid testing. child trafficking, the drugs, Basic No vetting. Anyone from any country including terrorist possibly but nothing about that!

The photo has been debunked by the person who took the picture. Maybe that has something to do with it. You never know.

morgfair More horses and more Texans, please.

Why? Because it was proven there was no “incident”. In fact, the incident was the mockery you made and biased intent you placed upon those protecting our country.

What’s the matter Biden Hit your foot stuck in your overgrown mouth Ha ha ha ha ha

Good. Nothing to see here anyway.

The Haitians were so upset over this that they had to sacrifice one of their own that same evening.

The controversy was mainstream media outlets (like ABC) and liberal politicians lying about the photos taken, saying agents were whipping illegal immigrants, when that never happened.

Why should they?

So much for secretary Mayorkas doing a thorough investigation. This man is so incapable he couldn’t do a thorough job wiping his ass.

Why should they be questioned They were defending our border. Why don’t you start question the incompetent of our president.

AboveTheLaw

I'm not agreeing with the method but America needs increased border patrol. It should be a punishable crime to illegally enter another country..

Meanwhile, thinking minds know it is not border agents at the center of any controversy, it is the false and misleading reporting that is pure scandal.

Joe Biden’s America.

Because they didn't do anything wrong you lunatics Do you know what a rein is yet?

Seems like this administration isn’t much different from the last one. Don’t really know why I fought or cared so much when it’s all the same bullshit

The controversy wasn't stemming from their 'use of horses.' The controversy was from the media and leftist politicians lying and saying they were using whips.

This is Joe Bidens BEER SUMMIT. Absolutely ridiculous argument.

Modern Day Slave Catchers 🤬🤬🤬

What Controversy? Just our Border Patrol Hero's doing their job...We sleep better at night knowing there on the job..

Systematic Institutional Racism…The American Justice system is blind when it comes to justice for”Black Folks” Again,these terms many of us have embraced”Minority,People of Color” are aimed at the disenfranchisement of Black folk. Be carful how you use them

Justice delayed is justice denied for BP men women. WH is horsing around because BP followed procedures. No person was whipped. PS AOC needs edification re 1/6th. No insurrec chged.Fed C.I's in crowd. Pelosi adv notice crowd,didn't beefup CP, y? 1 dead exvet,others natl causes

'Despite media outcry in a pathetic attempt to shift the conversation from Biden's massive failure in Afghanistan, the border guys doing their job hasn't been questioned for doing their job yet.' There, fixed it for you, you absolute joke of a 'journalistic institution'.

Maybe because they've realized they stuck their collective feet in their mouths and are quietly letting it go away? Nahhhh, that couldn't be it.

Great job border agents.

Sad news

Because you lied

You miss TFG admit it

Why should they be? Let them do their jobs.

Stop you're propaganda.

Because they did nothing wrong.

Hey ABC, I have a better idea for you! How about instead of the constant barrage of negative news and dividing people. How about more real news about how people are lifting each other up and helping each other out. Or you don't know how to do that anymore?

Well they did nothing wrong and we saw the video so…maybe ask the White House why they feel the need to demonize officers protecting our country

That's bc AliMayorkas hates migrants and is totally fine with this kind of brutality.

You guys are still trying to make this a thing?

It's clear that it's not part of a small house on the prairie. Armen, faithless love
