Migrants in Texas: US probes horseback charge on Haiti migrants

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-58637116









Images which appear to show border agents on horseback driving migrants back to a river like cattle have sparked an investigation in the US.
The pictures widely shared on social media show the riders using their reins against the migrants and pushing them back towards the Rio Grande in Texas.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says his department will investigate reports of alleged abuse.

Sorry this story is absolutely disgusting and not at all funny, but…

These guys are living out white supremacist fantasies.

This is why it's so important to vote Trump out at the next election.

Tbf, the use of horses in a terrain like that is effective. But as @nimic mentioned, the Border Patrol and Texas Rangers are notoriously white sup orgs that had to adjust to the times a little bit. But their core disciplines were born with a white sup POV.

Imagine if this happened under the Trump administration.

Alright, show me a picture of the horsemen “flogging” the Haitians with their reins
0:55 here
this still
a few threats here

i'm curious - is your position that rounding up and herding human refuse like cattle or sheep is o.k., and the only problem is the use of the whip?

My quarrel is that not a single picture shows a whip.
Whips weren’t used. False narrative.
If a whip had been used, I would be the first to denounce the act.
Why is it important to you to point out that the guy threatening people with a cord may not technically be using a whip, and why is threatening people with cords not denouncable while whips are?

You don't seem to be as cool as your username suggests.

The images are very disturbing. My brain is having a difficult time computing that they're from 2021 and not centuries ago.
