An El Paso Times story out Sept. 19, described a U.S Border Patrol Agent mounted on horseback wielding a whip, yelling at Haitians attempting to cross the Rio Grande to get into the U.S. “The agent swung his whip menacingly,” the story says, “charging his horse toward the men in the river who were trying to return to an encampment under the international bridge in Del Rio after buying food and water in Ciudad Acuña, Mexico.” An Al Jazeera report showed another mounted Border Patrol officer shouting expletives at Haitian migrants.
