Report: Email Proves DHS Head Knew Border Patrol Had Not ‘Whipped’ Migrants But Suggested It Anyway

After Biden promised the agents would “pay”

Newly released emails have revealed that the head of the Department of Homeland Security was alerted that Border Patrol agents had not ‘whipped’ any migrants attempting to evade capture, but he went on TV immediately after and suggested that false narrative was the case.

Fox News reports that a September 24, 2021 email, obtained by the Heritage Foundation via a Freedom of Information Act request (FOIA), shows that Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was directed by his assistant secretary of DHS public affairs that the photographer who took the images of the incident was quoted as saying the ‘whipping’ did not happen.

Despite having this information, Mayorkas stood in front of cameras just hours later and said “Our nation saw horrifying images that do not reflect who we are. We know that those images painfully conjured up the worst elements of our nation’s ongoing battle against systemic racism.”

Mayorkas had already abandoned defending the border agents after the Biden administration opted to run with the false narrative.

National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd told Fox News that the email releases constitute “smoking gun evidence.”

“It clearly shows they are willing to lie to the American people for their self interests,” Judd asserted, adding “They withheld facts and anytime you withhold facts from the American people… you should step down from your job. Better men step down. This clearly shows they are not better men.”

Watch:

As we previously highlighted, the border agents were completely cleared of all charges, as confirmed by a 500-page report from Customs and Border Protection.

We also highlighted that the Biden administration still intends to punish the border agents for “administrative violations”.

National Border Patrol Council President for the Del Rio border sector Jon Anfinsen has accused Biden’s Department of Homeland Security of “trying to save face and propose some kind of discipline just so they can justify their claims from day one.”

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.

Nine former senior Border Patrol officials, including four national Border Patrol chiefs wrote to Mayorkas earlier this year voicing opposition to the proposed punishment of the agents.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has demanded that Joe Biden publicly apologise to the four agents who were falsely accused of whipping the Haitian migrants last year, and who Biden promised would “pay” for it.

House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy has also called for Democrats to apologise, declaring that “Our brave Border Patrol agents work to secure our border every day despite the fact that President Biden makes their mission more difficult and more dangerous because of his unconscionable support for a wide-open southern border.”

McCarthy also noted of the agents, “Their reputation was smeared by President Biden, Vice President Harris, and their allies in the media – and they should all apologize.”

The statement continued, “These agents were cleared of criminal wrongdoing months ago, but instead of admitting they were wrong, the Biden administration is doubling down on baselessly attacking these agents to perpetuate their open-border agenda.”

    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.

    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:

    Videos: Massive Group Of 1000 Illegals Attempts To Smash Through El Paso Border Barriers

    Happening all the time

    Video and photos have emerged of a massive group of 1000 illegal immigrants attempting to rush the border at at check point on the Paso Del Notre bridge.

    The establishment media barely reported on the incident, with Fox News’ Bill Melugin the only reporter to cover the incident.

    The footage shows that most trying to cross are young men.

    Both Mexican police and U.S. border agents managed to stop the attempt to crash through the check point utilising barricades of barbed wire and other physical barriers.

    The migrants were reportedly emboldened by a rumour that the CBP on the bridge was letting people through days earlier:

    This is now a regular occurrence:

    The latest incident comes in the wake of revelations that The Red Cross is providing materials including maps to undocumented immigrants in an attempt help them successfully illegally cross the border into the U.S.
