White House press secretary Jen Psaki informed reporters on Wednesday that border patrol officers in Del Rio would no longer use horses after images emerged that appeared to show guards chasing down migrants using whips.
Psaki also commented on US special envoy to Haiti Daniel Foote's resignation. Foote, who criticised inhumane treatment of Haitian migrants at the border, 'had ample opportunity to raise concerns about migration during his tenure', Psaki said.
