NINE Former Border Patrol Heads Oppose Punishment Of Agents CLEARED Of ‘Whipping’ Migrants

“The statements made by the President and Vice President predictively prejudged the desired outcome of the investigation”

Nine former senior Border Patrol officials, including four national Border Patrol chiefs have written a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas voicing opposition to the punishment of agents who were cleared of charges of ‘whipping’ migrants.

As we noted last week, Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security is reportedly still going to punish the Border Patrol Agents in connection with the infamous fake ‘whipping’ Haitian migrants incident that was hyped up by Democrats and the media, even though the agents were found to have done nothing wrong.

The agents were not whipping migrants, they were holding horse reigns to control their animals, a fact that was pointed out at the time of the incident, even by the photographer who took the original images.

Despite this Joe Biden vowed to make the agents “pay,” Vice president Kamala Harris compared agents doing their jobs to slave owners, and the DHS head Mayorkas even implied that the agents were racists.

In addition to former national chiefs David Aguilar, Michael Fisher, Ronald Vitiello, and Rodney Scott, five chief patrol agents have also signed the opposition letter. They are Robert Harris, Anthony Porvaznik, Paul Beeson, Jesse Shaw, and John Pfeifer.

The nine bipartisan officials served under three different Presidents.

In the letter they write “We collectively believe and point out that the statements made by the President and Vice President predictively prejudged the desired outcome of the investigation and may therefore influence the case.”

“Stating outright that there will be consequences presumes the result of an investigation,” the letter continues.

The officials add “We ask that you and the deciding official ensure a fair and impartial review of the facts as U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) moves through this process.”

Here is the letter in full:

At the time, border agents involved in the incident were suspended, while their colleagues were forced to undergo woke re-education training, all because they were trying to do their jobs properly.

Last week reports suggested that the agents will still be subject to “administrative violations” with more details to be announced by the DHS.

    Video: Ted Cruz Eviscerates DHS Secretary For STILL Refusing To Admit There Is Border Crisis

    “Your refusal to do your job is revolting.”

    During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday, Senator Ted Cruz grilled Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and described his refusal to answer questions on the border crisis as “disgraceful.”

    Cruz asked Mayorkas if he thinks there is currently a crisis at the border, with Mayorkas only responding that there is “a very significant challenge” and refusing to answer with a “yes” or “no.”

    Cruz noted that Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz has repeatedly testified that there is a crisis, and asked Mayorkas to “speak with the same clarity.” 

    “That’s how someone answers a question and does their job,” Cruz asserted, adding “You’re being a politician, misleading the American people.”

    The Senator went on to describe how migrant deaths, child assaults and rapes have risen significantly since Mayorkas took office

    “The men and women of the Border Patrol, they’ve never had a political leader undermine them,” Cruz declared, telling Mayorkas that he should resign.

    “They despise you, Mr. Secretary, because you’re willing to let children be raped to follow political orders. This is a crisis, it’s disgrace, and you won’t even admit this human tragedy is a crisis,” Cruz blasted.

    Mayorkas called Cruz’s comments “revolting,” prompting Cruz to respond, “Your refusal to do your job is revolting.”

    Watch:

    Elsewhere during the hearing, Senator Josh Hawley slammed Mayorkas for assisting with and incentivising illegal entry into the U.S., noting that “It’s like a concierge service for illegal immigrants.”

    “Rather than building a wall, Mr. Secretary, you have built Ticketmaster for illegal immigrants,” Hawley proclaimed.

    CBP Data: 16 Terrorists On FBI Watchlist Crossed Southern Border In February Alone

    How many got away?

    Fresh data from Customs and Border Protection has revealed that sixteen people matched to the FBI’s terrorist watchlist were apprehended by Border Patrol agents in February alone.

    As reported by Fox News, the total number of individuals on the watchlist found to be attempting to enter the country so far this fiscal year is now 69.

    CBP expects the trend to continue, and to smash last fiscal year’s record 98 encounters.

    Between FY17 and FY20 there were only 8 of these terror watchlist arrests, and in 2021 only 15.

    When border the Southern and Northern borders are taken into account, FY23 has seen 214 people in the Terrorist Screening Database stopped by CBP agents to date. Last year, the total was 380, yet the year before that there were only 157 encounters.

    The Department of Homeland Security says the border is secure and claims that the biggest terror threat the U.S. faces is ‘domestic extremists’ radicalised by “false narratives propagated on online platforms.”

    The latest data shows that on the whole, CBP apprehended 128,877 people who crossed the border illegally in January and another 128,913 in February.

    Those figures are down from December when a record amount of illegal crossings were recorded, as 251,487 illegal immigrants crossed, marking the highest monthly total in history. A total of 17 individuals on the terrorism watchlist were apprehended.

    Last week, during testimony before the House, Border Patrol chief Raúl Ortiz contradicted Biden administration officials by stating that there is a full on crisis on the southern border, urging that it is not secure, and calling for a wall to be built.

    Ortiz noted that there have already been approximately 385,000 known gotaways at the border since fiscal year 2023 began on Oct 1. That is in addition to 600,000 in FY’22, and 390,000 in FY’21. There have been approximately 1.4 million gotaways since start of FY’21.

    Video: Border Patrol Chief Testifies Border Is Not Secure, Wall Needed

    Not a single Democrat attended the hearing

    During testimony before the House Wednesday, Border Patrol chief Raúl Ortiz contradicted Biden administration officials by stating that there is a full on crisis on the southern border, urging that it is not secure, and calling for a wall to be built.

    Biden officials, including DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, have repeatedly claimed that the border is under control, yet Ortiz confirmed that there is no operational control of the entire southern border.

    Rep. Mark Green questioned Ortiz with a display behind him that noted “operational control,” as defined by U.S. law, is “the prevention of all unlawful entries into the United States, including entries by terrorists, other unlawful aliens, instruments of terrorism, narcotics and other contraband.”

    Ortiz went on to talk about the numbers flooding the border:

    Elsewhere during the hearing, Ortiz said it was a mistake to stop building President Trump’s wall. He also defended the agents who were accused and cleared of whipping migrants while on horseback.

    Not a single Democrat was present at the hearing:

    Ortiz’s comments come as the CBP reported over 150,000 encounters with illegals in February:

    The Defense Department is spending millions on not building a wall:

    Meanwhile, the northern border is also seeing a massive increase in illegal immigration under Biden:
