Original Note:
Officials note that they do not use whips, and video evidence shows no whips being used by Border Patrol. They use split reins to control their horses and a detached rein was incorrectly identified as a whip. This tweet and article are the source of widespread misinformation. https://twitter.com/julio_rosas11/status/1440004256392749059?s=21
