The images were initially interpreted by some as showing an agent whipping the illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>The incident was denounced by President Joe Biden, who promised to punish the agents responsible.<\/p>\n<p>However, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/fact-check-videos-not-show-border-agents-using-whips-round-illegal-immigrants-southern-border\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">subsequent investigation<\/a> revealed that the horses\u2019 reins were the objects that, at the angle some images were taken, appeared to be whips. Despite that, the agents under investigation were found to have used \u201cunnecessary\u201d force, with one agent found to have maneuvered his horse \u201cunsafely\u201d and used \u201cdenigrating and inappropriate language,\u201d according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/05\/02\/us-news\/border-agent-falsely-accused-of-whipping-migrants-receives-award\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a>. Biden has never apologized to the agents.<\/p>\n<p>The agent was among the many members of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/newsroom\/national-media-release\/cbp-recognizes-outstanding-employees-during-annual-awards-ceremony\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Customs and Border Patrol<\/a> to receive an award, according to the Post.<\/p>\n<p>The agent\u2019s name has never been released, but the Post said a source it did not name at the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that the agent was among those awarded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI find it hilarious and ridiculous that almost three years later, a Border Patrol agent who was accused of being racist and so vilified\u00a0by this Biden administration now wins an achievement\u00a0award for his efforts in preventing smuggling, before he gets a public apology,\u201d the Post quoted its DHS source it did not name as saying.<\/p>\n<p>The agent was initially taken off the border and banned from working with illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, he was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/horseback-border-patrol-agents-accused-whipping-migrants-reins-reassigned-desk-duties\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">assigned<\/a> to intelligence work to combat human smuggling. His work in that area led to his award, the DHS source said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Should Biden publicly apologize to this agent?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>He eventually was permitted to return to working along the border and allowed to interact with illegal immigrants, according to the DHS source.<\/p>\n<p>Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was among those vilifying the agents.<\/p>\n<p>However, in a 2022 report, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/immigration\/heritage-explains\/caught-lie-border-patrol-agents-never-whipped-migrants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heritage Foundation<\/a> noted that even as agents were being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-texas-border-residents-defend-border-patrol-agents-attacked-hoax-whip-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">condemned<\/a> for what they did not do, evidence had emerged that the outcry against them was wrong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe got some communications that were sent to Mayorkas right before he went up and gave that really heated speech at the White House,\u201d said Mike Howell, Director of Heritage\u2019s Oversight Project.<\/p>\n<p>Howell said the Heritage Foundation sued to get the documents that told what went on behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne such communication that we found was an email from his top press staffer, a woman by the name of Marsha Espinosa. She had forwarded to Mayorkas an article. In this article was a comment from the photographer that was there, the one source that was neither border patrol or a Haitian, illegal alien. The photographer said there was no whipping, \u2018I saw no whipping,\u2019\u201d Howell said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMarsha Espinosa highlighted this part for Secretary Mayorkas, and Mayorkas went up and gave his press conference and did not make use of this information that would\u2019ve cleared the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">border patrol agents<\/a> in light of this public outcry and these false accusations being levied at them from media, Democrat congressmen, and even the president of the United States,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>I heard a chilling comment the other day: \u201cWe don\u2019t even know if an election will be held in 2024.\u201d <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>That wasn\u2019t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet.
