U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) apologized after one of the agency’s Twitter accounts retweeted tweets commenting on President Joe Biden’s border policies.

Over the weekend, a Twitter user posted screenshots of retweets from the official Twitter account for CBP West Texas.

The tweets retweeted were those of former Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller.

“Violent criminals lay waste to our communities undisturbed while the immense power of the state is arrayed against those whose only crime is dissent,” Miller tweeted.

He added, “The law has been turned from a shield to protect the innocent into a sword to conquer them.”

In another tweet, Miller wrote, “The media’s greatest power is its ability to frame what is a dire national crisis (eg ‘cops are racist’ summer ‘20) and what is not.”

Miller argued Biden’s “eradication of our border means we are no longer a Republic—he’s ended nearly 250 years of constitutional government. The media is silent.”

What is up with the @CBPWestTexas Twitter feed right now? This is one of the most egregious examples I’ve ever seen of a US federal law enforcement agency defying elected political leadership in official communications. pic.twitter.com/iON2AmqPqs

CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus issued a statement on Twitter following the posts.

“Totally unacceptable and disappointing that any CBP Twitter account was used to R/T offensive, unauthorized content,” Magnus said.

He added, “We’ve removed the content and will deactivate the account. The Office of Professional Responsibility will investigate. This must not happen again.”

Additionally, Magnus released an official statement.

“U.S. Customs and Border Protection has become aware of unauthorized and inappropriate content that was posted to the [BP West Texas] Twitter account,” Magnus wrote.

The statement continues, “CBP will take action to deactivate the account and has referred the matter to the Office of Professional Responsibility to investigate. The tweets do not reflect the values of this administration and our work to rebuild a humane, orderly, and secure immigration system.”

On Sunday evening, Miller reacted to the report that the agency would be looking into the posts.

“Joe Biden’s soulless open border crusade is killing thousands of innocents. Death and destruction everywhere,” Miller wrote.

Joe Biden’s soulless open border crusade is killing thousands of innocents. Death and destruction everywhere. But instead of going after the murderous cartels, they are going after agents for RTs of pro-border messages. The Biden Administration hates the law and law enforcement. https://t.co/JOukh8uIAc
