Breitbart: Special Counsel Questions Investigation into CBP Air Response in Migrant, Border Agent’s Deaths
The U.S. Office of Special Counsel has raised concerns about a CBP internal investigation that dismissed allegations from a whistleblower regarding the Deming New Mexico Air Unit's failure to respond to emergency calls, which allegedly led to several deaths. The investigation found no violations, but the OSC indicated the findings may not be reasonable.
The whistleblower's claims included improper dispatch practices and managerial decisions affecting the unit's operations. A senior CBP official stated that the air response did not impact the outcomes of the incidents in question and emphasized the complexities of operating in remote border areas. Agency records show satisfaction with the air response provided during that period.
