U.S. Customs and Border Protection has reassigned officers who were taped corralling migrants on horseback to “administrative duties” pending an investigation, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said Tuesday, amid criticism of CBP’s handling of a recent surge of migrants — mostly Haitian — on the U.S.-Mexico

Strange- there is very very little coverage of this

1. They must be proud. We need their photos!

2. These "charming" folks need to be reassigned to

A nice remote Alaskan station and be put in charge of counting paper clips until their cases can be reviewed and hopefully terminated.

4. As an aside, a post like that would bring a hefty raise.

I crossed into Alaska at the Alaska Highway, Rte 1 crossing 2 years ago next month.

This spot here.

I asked the agent a few questions about the gig and was surprised to find out that the station he worked at - one so remote that the folks who work there...LIVE there - was one of the top five most desired posts in the entire CBP network, primarily for pay.

He said the only others that paid about the same or better were in Hawaii, LAX, JFK in New York and O'Hare in Chicago, but because of the cost of living in those places, the increase was moot.

Not so on the AlCan Highway.

So sending a Border Patrol Agent from southern Texas to Alaska might sound miserable, but it would mean a significant pay hike!

BTW, I asked the guy where they have to go to get groceries. He told me they make a 600 mile round trip to Costco in Fairbanks once a month! In the winter if a bad storm hits, that trek to the store for food could take 3 days.

5. 600 miles for groceries

That must be some serious pay - thanks for this

3. I'm wondering what people think enforcement of Title 42 might look like otherwise.

7. Let's ask him- Top U.S. diplomat in Haiti resigns over 'inhumane' treatment of migrants

The U.S. special envoy for Haiti, Daniel Foote, has resigned over what he called the administration's "inhumane" treatment of Haitian migrants.

"With deep disappointment and apologies to those seeking crucial changes, I resign from my position as Special Envoy for Haiti, effective immediately," he said in his resignation letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday, obtained by NBC News.

Foote deplored the "inhumane, counterproductive decision to deport thousands of Haitian refugees” and said that his own recommendations have been “ignored and dismissed." He said his resignation is effective immediately.
