One of those "You can't make this stuff up" stories.......
"Border patrol agents will be banned from using horses in Del Rio, Texas, the Biden administration announced Thursday, after viral photos showed agents on horseback capturing immigrants who crossed the border illegally.
Initial reports indicated agents were using whips on the migrants, though that was later debunked. But conerns over the photos came up during the White House press briefing this week.
"One, we feel those images are horrible and horrific," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday. "I can also convey to you that [Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas] conveyed to civil rights leaders earlier this morning that we will no longer be using horses in Del Rio."
Biden decision to ban horses for border patrol draws backlash from Republicans
Civil rights? Since when does a horse violate someone's civil rights?
Will police officers also no longer be allowed to use police cars on city streets, given that they give an unfair advantage to criminals who are on foot?
