Border Officials Complain of Unofficial ‘Gag Order’

“The Biden administration is restricting the information Border Patrol agents and sector chiefs can share with the media as a surge of migrants tests the agency’s capacity at the southern border,” NBC News reports.

“Border Patrol officials have been told to deny all media requests for ‘ride-alongs’ with agents along the southern border; local press officers are instructed to send all information queries, even from local media, to the press office in Washington for approval; and those responsible for cultivating data about the number of migrants in custody have been reminded not to share the information with anyone to prevent leaks.”
