Recently President Joe Biden visited Texas to offer his condolences and pay respect to the victims of the Robb Elementary School shooting. However, many of the responding Border Portal agents and law enforcement officers who were at the scene of the shooting were not invited.
Breitbart reported that Biden had blamed the limited amount of space as the reason for retracting invitations, despite the event location being a large open-space facility.
A source from Customs and Border Protection shared that the officers had received invitations previously and were planning to attend the president’s private address, however unfortunately last minute many people were informed that they were no longer invited.
Former Border Patrol veteran Randy Clark mentioned that the location of the event could hold hundreds of people easily, but somehow 90% of the Border Patrol agents originally invited to the event were told that the space was restricted and they would no longer be allowed to attend.
Out of the 80 Border Patrol agents who were involved in the shooting response and invited to the president’s address, Biden only met with 7 of them.
Those agents who were uninvited were not only in charge of evacuation procedures but also providing emergency medical care to the casualties. No other logical reasoning has been provided for why the agents were removed from the invitation list.

Here’s what the CBP source told Breitbart Texas, “These agents are still traumatized by the incident; the venue is large, and they are not going to buy this excuse,” The news outlet also mentioned that mid-level managers from Border Patrol were tasked with deciding who would attend.

They also criticized the Biden regime’s motivation for this event saying, “It appears now as if this planned meeting was nothing more than a photo opportunity with the law enforcement community.”
