Top Democrats, who had been strikingly silent about the illegal immigrant camp that built up on U.S. soil, are now lashing out at the Border Patrol agents assigned to handle the situation, accusing them of abusing the Haitian migrants streaming into the U.S.
Images of agents on horseback trying to block Haitians from reaching the camp, some seemingly deploying reins in the effort, reverberated through Democratic circles Monday.
Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, the top Democrat on the subcommittee that handles the Border Patrol’s funding, pronounced herself “deeply disturbed.”

"There are very few things that will boil my blood as bad as the White House directly coming out and condemning an action before they know what happened," Judd said on the John Solomon Reports podcast . "Jen Psaki came out yesterday, and she condemned these actions when in reality, it is a legitimate law enforcement action. This was meant to protect the illegal aliens.
"Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and White House press secretary Jen Psaki condemned law enforcement efforts to prevent Haitian migrants from crossing into Del Rio this week. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories:
