This would not be such a big deal if it was just a mistake on De Blasio's part as he is an American citizen, however the report clearly shows his team intentionally crossed the border illegally AND disregarded official instructions to remain in place by Border Patrol. There should be criminal repercussions.
According to the letter, a uniformed Border Patrol agent noticed a group standing in the Rio Grande flood plain south of the Tornillo, Texas, port of entry, taking photos of the holding facility. The agent asked if anyone from Border Patrol or public affairs was there to authorize their presence. An NYPD inspector said no, according to the letter, and when the agent asked the group how they arrived, they pointed to Mexico.
The agent told them they’d crossed the border illegally and asked them to remain there while he got a supervisor and took them to an official crossing for an inspection per federal law, according to the letter. But the group disregarded the order, walking back to their vehicles and driving back to Mexico, according to the letter. They re-entered by car through a port of entry about three hours later, the letter said.

“De Blasio rebutted the allegations on Wednesday, saying he consulted with Border Patrol agents and a supervisor and had obtained permission to cross over the border to Mexico.”
The accurate account will of course be whichever one anyone decides to believe.
