President Joe Biden’s pick to lead the U.S. Customs and Border Protection previously criticized the Covington Catholic High School students who were falsely accused of harassing a Native American man during the March for Life.

“High school students mock Native American elder/Vietnam veteran at Lincoln Memorial. Politics aside, how do kids get like this? What kind of parenting or school experience leads to this? Mob mentality, adolescent behavior — sure. But this has to be called out as cruel & wrong,” Chris Magnus tweeted on Jan. 19, 2019, accompanied by a photo of then-student Nicholas Sandmann.
