Photographer Who Took Horseback Border Patrol Photos: ‘I’ve Never Seen Them Whip Anyone’
The photographer, Paul Ratje, told local outlet KTSM that he has never seen anyone from Border Patrol whipping illegal immigrants, contrary to what media outlets breathlessly and baselessly reported earlier this week. Ratjet told the outlet that he was based in Las Cruces, New Mexico but had traveled to Del Rio, Texas on Friday. He said he took the photos from the Mexican side of the border.
“Some of the Haitian men started running, trying to go around the horses,” Ratje told the outlet.
“I’ve never seen them whip anyone,” Ratje added. “He was swinging it, but it can be misconstrued when you’re looking at the picture.”
While journalists claimed the photos showed Border Patrol agents were “whipping” migrants, the photos actually show split reins, not whips. Split reins are used to direct the horse and hang loosely down the horse’s shoulders. When a horse makes a sudden movement, those strips of leather will naturally flow outward, which is what was depicted in the images. In no picture was a Border Patrol agent holding a whip or even holding the reins in a whip-like fashion.

The video of BP using the split reins as whips, which I'm sure you've seen and chosen not to show, is easily obtainable. But that will not fit your scenario.
These Haitians aren't new migrants from Haiti, but from Brazil and they’ve been there for years. How was this organized since they wound up in the same Texas location? BTW - wasn't Jason Miller in Brazil not too long ago? Seems highly likely that Miller worked with Bolsonaro to create this publicity stunt for the GOP?

Photographer behind controversial photos speaks exclusively to KTSM
The photographs, which were taken Sunday, appear to show agents on horses with a whip in hand. The photos caused outrage because from certain angles, it appears to show Border Patrol whipping migrants, but photographer Paul Ratje said he and his colleagues never saw agents whipping anyone.
“Some of the Haitian men started running, trying to go around the horses,” Ratje said.
Ratje is a photographer based in Las Cruces and has been in Del Rio since Friday. He said took the photographs from the Mexican side.
“I’ve never seen them whip anyone,” Ratje said. “He was swinging it, but it can be misconstrued when you’re looking at the picture.”
The photos drew immense criticism from many on social media and the White House said it will investigate.

Mayorkas alerted that no Haitian migrants were ‘whipped’ hours before WH press conference
Mayorkas would go on to describe the incident as 'horrifying'
EXCLUSIVE: Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was told that the photographer who captured a clash between Border Patrol agents and Haitian migrants in Del Rio had said that the incident was being misconstrued -- hours before Mayorkas joined a White House press conference where he didn’t challenge the false narrative.
The Sept. 24, 2021 email, obtained by the Heritage Foundation via a Freedom of Information Act request (FOIA), shines light onto internal deliberations surrounding the controversy in Del Rio, Texas, where Democrats and the White House pushed a narrative that migrants had been "whipped" or "strapped" by Border Patrol agents despite it being quickly debunked.
In fact, agents were using split reins to control their houses as migrants rushed across the river. But a narrative, based on a misinterpretation of photographs, was running and on Sept. 24 was further fueled by President Biden.

This is another reason why EVERY Democrat should be tried, convicted and executed for being complete ####bags.

Mayorkas needs to be whipped. I'd be happy to volunteer.
