Ratje, the photographer who took the controversial photo, also weighed in on what happened, telling NPR and a news station the following about what he captured with his lens: “Some of the Haitian men started running, trying to go around the horses, and that’s when the whole thing happened. I never saw them whip anyone. The agent was swinging the reigns that to some can be misconstrued when your looking at the pictures.”
The News4JAX Trust Index team also looked deeper into CBP policy, which says: “Whips are not issued or authorized for use.”
USA Today reports a retired CBP agent told The Arizona Republic that the CBP agent may have been trying to keep the migrants from getting too close to the horses because, if someone gets close enough to control the horse’s head by grabbing the reins, that could lead to serious injury or death of the agent or the migrant.
So, does how CBP agents handled this situation deserve an investigation? The answer is yes. But to the claim that horseback mounted CBP agents were seen whipping Haitian migrants trying to get into the U.S., the News4JAX Trust Index Team rates this claim as not true.

It is all true. They were treating them violently and using reins as whips. Watch the video before you lie again. https://www.tmz.com/2021/09/20/borde...tians-refugee/

That cowboy spun something. What was that?
