“The only reason that we know that they were cleared is because OPR [Office of Professional Responsibility] started their investigation and they compelled them to give a statement. Once you compel somebody to give a statement, you can’t take criminal action against them,” Judd explained while speaking to The Daily Caller.

Prior to the CBP probe “clearing” agents of wrongdoing, media outlets had already been forced to issue corrections over the story. A critical component to the left’s narrative – that agents were “whipping” Haitians – crumbled shortly after the story broke, as Border Patrol personnel don’t carry whips.

The photographer who captured many of the images at the center of the controversy told KTSM NBC9 in El Paso he “didn’t ever see [the agents] whip anybody,” adding that the photos have “really been misconstrued.”
