Customs and Border Protection announced Friday that Border Patrol agents falsely accused of "whipping" illegal Haitian immigrants, who were disobeying orders and entering the United States unlawfully last September, have been cleared of any wrongdoing.
??@CBP says no evidence that any migrants were “whipped” by BP agents, despite politicians/media rushing to judgment.@CBPChrisMagnus: “it was inevitable & certainly not surprising that there was going to be a reaction” from the media & elected officials. “Not at all surprising” pic.twitter.com/TSM3diM3Yd

Regardless, the Biden administration plans to further punish agents anyway. Why? Because President Joe Biden said so before an investigation was ever conducted and after the leftist, open-border media created a false narrative.
Biden on the lie that border patrol were using whips on illegal immigrants at the border:

Since last September, a number of horseback mounted agents have been put on administrative leave. Their unit was pulled from the Eagle Pass sector of the U.S.-Mexico border. Now, they're facing suspension.
Multiple federal sources tell me the agents received their proposed discipline from CBP yesterday, and it includes unpaid suspensions of up to 14 days. The agents will have an opportunity to respond/fight the allegations. @FoxNews

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkis originally defended the agents but quickly changed his narrative after a phone call from the White House. Since then, he's been a full participant in the smear campaign and witch-hunt against them.
