Last year&#8217;s mass migration event in Del Rio was chaotic. We had over 20,000 people show up in one place in a short period of time. Even so, we were able to provide food, water, and medical care without a single loss of life,&#8221; He said that Fox News <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/border-patrol-chief-publicly-backs-agents-falsely-accused-by-biden-whipping-haitian-migrants?intcmp=tw_pols\">reported<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I remain proud of the work of our horse patrol units and what we did in Del Rio. As the chief of the Border Patrol, I am ultimately responsible for all operational decisions. To that point and as a senior field commander during that response, I accepted and continue to accept full responsibility for the actions taken,&#8221; He added. <\/p>\n<p>In September 2021, Border Patrol agents were under fire after several mounted agents stopped a group of mostly Haitian migrants trying to cross into the United States at Del Rio, Texas. Biden administration officials, including President, claimed that photos from the encounter revealed that agents had whipped immigrants. This led to a media outcry. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To see people treated like they did, horses barely running over, people being strapped \u2014 it&#8217;s outrageous,&#8221; President <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joe Biden<\/a> At the time, mimicking whipping motions was a common method. &#8220;I promise you: Those people will pay.
