Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 20, 2021 Posted September 20, 2021 White House says images of Border Patrol with whip are 'obviously horrific’ WWW.NBCNEWS.COM Press secretary Jen Psaki called the images "horrible," but said she could not yet address what the consequences would be. Quote White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Monday called pictures that appeared to show a U.S. Border Patrol agent on horseback with a whip to deter migrants "horrific," but declined to say what consequences there should be for the agent's actions. "I have seen some of the footage. I don't have the full context. I can't imagine what context would make that appropriate, but I don't have additional details," she told reporters at the daily White House briefing. "I don't think anyone seeing that footage would think it's acceptable or appropriate." Psaki was pressed repeatedly about the images and asked if the use of whips was something the Biden administration permitted. She called footage of the incident "horrible to watch," but added "we just have to get more information on that" before she could comment further. Asked if the agent should be fired, she said, "Of course they should never be able to do it again." 1 Quote

Couldn't we send some food and water emergency rations sent down to them? Quote “Reports that thousands of migrants are being deported to Haiti despite turmoil in that country raise serious concerns about whether the federal government is failing to treat migrants — including those fleeing violence, political instability, and natural disasters — with respect and dignity and affording them a meaningful opportunity to seek asylum,” the lawmakers wrote. “We were able to express our concern for people who look like us,” Representative Joyce Beatty, Democrat of Ohio and the caucus’s chairwoman, said afterward. “We had not seen the horses and the whips with any other population of people, so that to us goes to racism.” Quote
