AP Photo/Felix Marquez You’ll recall the incident that occurred last September at the US-Mexico border when photographers caught agents on horseback using their long reins to control their horses as they tried to slow the onslaught of migrants illegally crossing the Rio Grande river into our country.
The Biden administration immediately drew conclusions , saying the agents were “whipping” the migrants as if they were slaves. “To see people treated like they did, horses barely running over, people being strapped – it’s outrageous,” Joe Biden told reporters after the photographs surfaced. “I promise you, those people will pay.”
The controversy was quickly debunked, and the agents were cleared of wrongdoing. So, what’s the poor Biden Administration to do? Punish them for “administrative violations,” of course.
Fox News reported Tuesday that the Department of Homeland Security will discipline multiple horseback Border Patrol agents in the debunked “whipping” of Haitian migrants story. Already suffering from low morale due to record migrant surges at the US-Mexico border, agents are reportedly “ furious ” over the decision.
Why? Because they know they’re being made into scapegoats for the failed border policy of the Biden administration. The Biden Administration is reportedly planning to punish the border agents accused of whipping migrants despite the debunked claims in that scandal. https://t.co/UzcBMJmFzy President Biden not only declared them guilty but pledged punishment before the start of the investigation — Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) June 15, 2022 Convicting people without a trial? That’s not the American way, Joe.
It’s hard to think of a more trumped-up charge than “administrative violations.” What, did they fail to sharpen their pencils to the required length?
Agents are predictably incensed. Said National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd to Fox News Digital : What we’re seeing right now is the executive branch weaponizing the Office of Professional Responsibility to […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
