Mayorkas investigation into Border Patrol 'whipping' incident drags on
Fox News
The investigation by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) into the September incident with Border Patrol agents on horseback has yet to conclude despite initial assurances from the Biden administration that it would be wrapped up in days.
Photographs went viral in September depicting horse patrol agents deterring Haitian migrants attempting to cross into the United States illegally across the river in Del Rio, Texas. Critics and some news outlets claimed the agents were using whips against the migrants, with some saying the images hearkened to the slavery era.
Many outlets later rescinded the claim after it became apparent that the agents were using reins instead of whips.
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told Congress on Sept. 22 that the investigation into the incident would wrap up within "a matter of days, not weeks."
