Nine months after horse patrol agents were accused of “whipping” illegal immigrants at the border in Del Rio, Texas, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Chris Magnus said an internal review found “no evidence Border Patrol agents struck any person, intentionally or otherwise.”

“The investigation concluded that there were failures at multiple levels of the agency, a lack of appropriate policies and training, and unprofessional and dangerous behavior by several individual agents,” states the Office of Professional Review report.
