White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki comments on images show Border Patrol Agents using whips on Haitians who have crossed into Del Rio.
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.
“I have seen some of the footage. I don’t have the full context. I can’t imagine what context would make that appropriate, but I don’t have additional details,” she told reporters at the daily White House briefing. “I don’t think anyone seeing that footage would think it’s acceptable or appropriate.”
