Regardless, @cbp public affairs exists to work with media,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd Pandemic restrictions are not a valid excuse to block physical media access, especially to operations that are outside. There are easy alternative options to media ride-alongs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShowing the difficult and important work of @cbp agents in the field, while also photographing immigrants in a dignified way are not mutually exclusive endeavors. Transparency is key, even in a politicized environment,\u201d Moore continued. \u201cThe photographs in this tweet string were taken with a telephoto lens from across the border in Mexico.
