Trust Index: Border Patrol did not use whips when confronting migrants

News4Jax runs a viral social media claim through the Trust Index about the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents allegedly whipping Haitian migrants along the Rio Grande as they tried to get into the United States. It was found that this was not true; what is seen as whips are the long reigns the agents use to control their horses.

Discussion Questions

What methods that border patrol agents use to prevent migrants from crossing need to be investigated? Should those methods be reformed overall?
