Biden Says Border Agents’ Use Of Horses Against Migrants Was Dangerous And Wrong

But the vice president couched her response as to whether the administration would halt all deportation efforts against Haitian refugees, calling on the U.S. to «do more in terms of supporting Haiti’s recovery rather than calling for a blanket pause on deportations.

«The United States has to help and we have to do more, and our administration feels strongly about that, Harris said.

Earlier in the day, President Biden rebuked the actions of the Border Patrol agents and said that he, as president, was responsible for the humanitarian crisis.

«Of course I take responsibility. I’m president, Biden said, calling the images from the border of agents corralling Haitian migrants on horseback using reins «outrageous.

«Those people will pay, Biden said, noting the investigation is ongoing. «It’s dangerous, it’s wrong and «It’s simply not who we are.

The pair’s renunciations of the border chaos come after Daniel Foote, the U.S. special envoy for Haiti, this week handed in his resignation to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, saying he «will not be associated with the United States’ inhumane, counterproductive decision to deport thousands of Haitian refugees and illegal immigrants to Haiti from the U.S. border.

In his letter, Foote wrote that his recommendations «have been ignored and dismissed and that Haitians shouldn’t be sent back to «a country where American officials are confined to secure compounds because of the danger posed by armed gangs in control of daily life.

An investigation into law enforcement actions towards Haitians at the border is ongoing.
