Research log
What was searched, and what didn’t count as evidence
Research notes
Instrument sought: a CBP announcement restarting or expanding horseback-mounted Border Patrol operations.
Searched, in the federal records we keep (fetched 2026-08-28): presidential documents, final rules, proposed rules and notices in the Federal Register, filtered to DHS and its components; bills in Congress and public laws, from congress.gov; White House presidential actions; and federal court dockets (CourtListener), including the bulk snapshot of 1.2 million dockets. Nothing was found. CBP’s horse patrol pages on cbp.gov are documentary and photographic rather than announcements of a restart, and the FY2026 appropriation does not name mounted operations.
