the horse patrol agents were not carrying whips and there s no evidence that they hit anyone with their reins. we have a texas congressman standing by. first to bill melugin in eagle pass, texas. good afternoon, bill. trace, good afternoon to you. it s been nearly ten months since this incident first took place in del rio last september. timely cbp held a press conference to announce the findings of their investigation. they just threw cold water on the false narrative that started last year accusing these horseback agents of whipping haitian my grantses. cbp says that they found no evidence whatsoever that any haitian migrants were whipped or struck by the horseback border patrol agents. but they re recommending discipline for four agents accusing them of administrative violations, including working in an unsafe manner and unprofessional comment. one agent was using derogatory language and maneuvered his horse in an unsafe way near a child. they say other agents used the t
peter doocy has more. the white house sees inflation as a problem but we re in a very good economy. today s economic news confirms the fact that my economic plan is moving in a better direction. the reason the president says that, he sees a low unemployment rate as top above all. right now wages are not rising as fast as the prices on everything else, which republicans say they see as a blinking red light. the problem is that every single day americans are hurting when they re either putting gas in their tanks, trying to put food on their table or trying to pay rent or energy bills. all of these things are out of the president s control. so white house officials say those are the only things that they believe is hindering their economic agenda. remember, this price increase is due to putin s tax highs, putin s war on ukraine. that s why we have seen the increase of gas prices and food. the press secretary says that we are stronger economically than we have been
