What the document says

“CBP should restart and expand use of the horseback-mounted Border Patrol.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 139

The chapter asks that the mounted Border Patrol be restarted and expanded, and that as part of the announcement the Secretary clear the records and personnel files of agents the chapter says were falsely accused by Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of whipping migrants, and issue a formal apology on behalf of the department and CBP.

What the document actually says

“CBP should restart and expand use of the horseback-mounted Border Patrol.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 139
That sentence, in plain words

Bring back the border agents who ride horses. Use more of them.

What this is about

Some border agents patrol on horseback. Their use was cut back after a dispute. The book says to bring them back. It also asks for an apology to those agents.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
