Joe Biden paid a visit to Uvalde, Texas on Sunday morning to pay tribute to those who died in the Robb Elementary School shooting. However, Several Border Patrol agents and other law enforcement officers who responded to last week’s deadly elementary mass killing in Uvalde, Texas, were not invited.
Breitbart reports say despite the fact that the event was hosted in a big open-space facility; Biden staff blamed a shortage of space as the reason for the retracted invitations.
The officers received the invitation late last week, according to a senior Customs and Border Protection source. Many had accepted and were planning to attend the president’s private address. The majority of people have now been informed that they are no longer invited.
The meeting is part of President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden’s journey to Uvalde, Texas, to speak with the relatives of the victims of last week’s school massacre at Robb Elementary, Breitbart reports.
Former Border Patrol veteran Randy Clark said that the venue could hold hundreds of people, but more than 90% of the Border Patrol agents who were invited were advised that time and space were restricted and that they would be unable to attend.
Over 80 of the Border Patrol agents who were involved in the shooting response were invited to the President’s address, but the Border Patrol was advised late Saturday that Biden could only meet with 7 of them.
The uninvited agents were not only in charge of evacuating instructors and kids from the shooter’s path of carnage but also of providing emergency medical care to the casualties. However, most Border Patrol agents were recently removed from Biden’s invitation list for undisclosed reasons.

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,” Adding 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.
