White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Wednesday slammed what she called "brutal and inappropriate" behavior by Border Patrol agents seen on horseback blocking migrants from entering the United States. BORDER PATROL AGENTS FACING DEMOCRATIC ATTACKS SHIFTED TO DESK DUTY AMID INVESTIGATION"We understand and agree that this has been an incredibly heart-wrenching issue," Psaki responded. Psaki was reacting to images of Border Patrol agents in Del Rio, Texas – where thousands of Haitians have surged in recent days – that showed agents on horseback blocking migrants from entering the U.S. and in one case grabbing onto a migrant’s shirt. Some Democrats and media outlets falsely described the agents’ long reins, which they use to control their horses, as "whips." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., condemned what she described as "the inappropriate use of what appear to be whips by Border Patrol officers on horseback to intimidate migrants."
