🔴 The Border Patrol agents accused of “whipping” Haitian migrants last September have been cleared of criminal wrongdoing — but remain under an administrative investigation that could cost them their jobs six months after the initial probe began, The Post learned Tuesday.

The administrative investigation is being conducted by Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Personal Responsibility (ORP), according to Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council.

“The [Department of Homeland Security’s] Office of the Inspector General, they had first crack at it,” Judd told The Post. “They determined there was no criminal activity that was done so they closed out their investigation.”

Judd insisted that the agents “were doing nothing but what they were told to do. They were given orders.”
