Restart horse-mounted Border Patrol; limit CBP NTAs; kill NTRs
Mandate calls for restarting/expanding horseback Border Patrol with apology and record-clearing for prior whip allegations, combining BP with Air and Marine, limiting CBP Notices to Appear, and eliminating Notices to Report.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 5 (Department of Homeland Security) — CBP: restart and expand horseback-mounted Border Patrol; clear records and personnel files of agents accused of whipping migrants and issue formal apology; combine Border Patrol and OAM; CBP should issue NTAs only in limited humanitarian situations and turn aliens over to ICE; eliminate Notices to Report altogether; mandate timely border data publication.
Undo plan
1) Maintain use-of-force accountability rather than blanket record-clearing of misconduct allegations.
2) Keep flexible processing tools needed for lawful humanitarian and court-efficient pathways.
3) Fund detention/ICE capacity before concentrating all charging in ICE alone.
4) Preserve accurate public border statistics with privacy protections.
5) Verify: CBP use-of-force reviews; NTA/NTR policy memos and court backlogs.
