VP Kamala Harris on Friday expressed outrage at how Border Patrol agents on horseback confronted Haitian migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border
Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday expressed outrage at how Border Patrol agents on horseback confronted Haitian migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border, saying the situation brought to mind how such tactics have been “used against the Indigenous people of our country, [have] been used against African Americans during times of slavery.”
The White House this week has faced criticism for its response to an encampment of thousands of mostly Haitian migrants at the southern border. Advocates and Democrats have been particularly vocal in condemning photos and videos that emerged earlier this week that appeared to show Border Patrol agents on horseback waving or whipping reins at migrants or in the air as they crossed the Rio Grande.
“It’s dangerous. It’s wrong,” Biden said. “It sends the wrong message around the world. It sends the wrong message at home. It’s simply not who we are.”
