Mayorkas said he was “horrified” by the images that have spread widely on social media and drawn outrage from members of Congress, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Some of the mounted agents use their horses to forcibly move and block the migrants, seeming to herd them like animals, and taunt them in at least one instance.
The disturbing videos and photos were taken in recent days in and around Del Rio and show Border Patrol agents confronting Haitians along the Rio Grande near a border bridge where thousands of migrants have gathered in recent days in hopes of entering the country. Videos by The Associated Press and other news organizations show one agent twirling his reins in a menacing way but not actually striking anyone.
The outrage built quickly, including at the White House, where press secretary Jen Psaki said the images were “horrific,” though she acknowledged not having all the information. “All migrants seeking asylum must be treated in accordance with the law and with basic decency,” the speaker said. Mayorkas said he wouldn’t explicitly say whether they reflected mistreatment or abuse, deferring instead to the investigation.
So has he ordered them to stop immediately? Or not?
Haitian lives really don’t matter. I wonder why?
What is the problem with that? The American military conducted an operation strike in Afghanistan and killed 7 children just 3 days ago, That is America my friend.

Biden admin outlines response to surge of Haitian migrants at borderDHS Sec. Mayorkas delivers remarks at U.S.-Mexico border on surge of Haitian migrants: 'If you come to the United States illegally, you will be returned. Your journey will not succeed.' Stop just repeating this garbage! What they are doing IS NOT ILLEGAL. IT IS A GUARANTEED HUMAN RIGHT UNDER US AND INTERNATIONAL LAW. The actions by DHS, ICE, & CBP are not just illegal, they are also explicitly human rights violations. So much for being different from the Trump administration. No surprises there,for the 🌎 most undesirable inhabitants,those of African decent. Just saying.
