The agents were investigated after photos emerged of them encountering migrants in Del Rio during the Haitian migrant crisis, where thousands of Haitians were seeking to enter the U.S. The agents used their reins to control the horses -- but that was falsely interpreted by media outlets and top Democrats as the agents using whips against migrants.
That false claim, quickly debunked, was still echoed by President Biden -- who promised the agents would "pay."
