President Joe Biden has not apologized to border patrol officials after he accused them of hitting Haitian migrants with straps as they worked to secure the border while riding horses.
"It was horrible to see what you saw, to see people treated like they did," Biden said last week.
"Horses running them over, people being strapped. It's outrageous. I promise you those people will pay."
Biden accused the agents of hitting migrants even though there was no available evidence to back up his statement.
A photographer who took images even told Texas media that the images were "Misconstrued" and that he never saw agents whip anyone.
It remains unclear whether Biden will apologize to the agents even after he vowed they would be punished - before an investigation into their actions was concluded.
White House press secretary Psaki defended Biden's assertion as a way to demonstrate their actions were not "Acceptable to him."
