Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin has issued a series of confusing statements regarding the incident. When reached for comment by the LA Times back in June, she claimed Gavidia had been “arrested” for assaulting border patrol agents.
When the Times noted that Gavidia had not been arrested, McLaughlin backtracked, clarifying he had only been questioned and it was actually his friend who was arrested.
On Wednesday, McLaughlin sent another conflicting statement to HuffPost, claiming Gavidia “was arrested for assaulting a law enforcement officer and interfering with agents during their duties.”
HuffPost has reached out for additional clarification.
McLaughlin’s statement to HuffPost also asserted that “any allegations that individuals have been ‘targeted’ by law enforcement because of their skin color are FALSE.”
