U.S. Border Patrol Launches Investigation Into Alleged K9 Abuse at Falfurrias Checkpoint After Video Sparks Outrage
Jan 2, 2025, 09:30 PM
The U.S. Border Patrol has initiated an investigation following the emergence of a video on social media that allegedly shows an agent kneeing a K9 at the Falfurrias checkpoint in South Texas. The incident, which occurred around 2:51 p.m. on Wednesday, was recorded by Jessica Pena from Corpus Christi, who witnessed the agent dragging the K9 to the side of the building and then kneeing it. The video sparked outrage and prompted a swift response from the U.S. Border Patrol, with Chief Patrol Agent Gloria Chavez of the Rio Grande Valley Sector issuing a statement emphasizing the agency's commitment to the welfare of their K9 partners and condemning any mistreatment or abuse by handlers. Chavez assured the public that the K9 involved in the incident is safe and that a full investigation is underway.
