White House Press Sec. Psaki said pictures that appear to show a Border Patrol agent on horseback with a whip to deter migrants are 'horrific,' but declined to say what consequences there should be for the agent's actions.
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.
A picture by photographer Paul Ratje showed the agent on horseback grabbing one of the migrants as the man tried to cross into the United States from Ciudad Acuña, Mexico, on Sunday. Thereported the agent had swung his whip and charged his horse at people trying to cross, shouting,"Let's go! Get out now! Back to Mexico!"
Psaki was pressed repeatedly about the images and asked if the use of whips was something the Biden administration permitted.
