Images appearing to show US Border Patrol agents using whips to drive back Haitian migrants near the bridge at the U.S.-Mexico border in the Del Rio bridge in Texas erupted angry reactions from human rights activists.

Iran Press/America: An estimated 10,000 migrants are still waiting to be processed, many of them Haitians fleeing violence and economic ruin following July's assassination of the country's President and a major earthquake in August that destroyed over 100,000 homes.

There are growing humanitarian concerns, with migrants sleeping amid growing piles of garbage, and videos appearing to show Border Patrol agents using whips to drive back migrants near the bridge.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the scenes "deeply troubling".

Vice President Kamala Harris said on Tuesday that she supports the investigation into whether Border Patrol agents on horseback used their horse reins in an inappropriate manner towards Haitian migrants and that the U.S. should help the country so people don’t have to leave, according to a pool report.
