GOP Sen. Lankford demands Mayorkas clarify testimony on migrants after leaked documents contradict him
Fox News
Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., demanded Monday that DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas clarify the department’s handling of migrant deportation proceedings after leaked ICE documents appeared to contradict his testimony before a Senate panel in September.
Lankford asked Mayorkas to explain wording included in the documents, first reported by CBS News, which appeared to undercut the DHS secretary’s past testimony regarding migrants who failed to present themselves to immigration officials.
"We have discussed my concerns about this catch-and-release policy multiple times in HSGAC hearings, and you have previously testified that DHS considers individuals who do not report to be "an enforcement priority of ours," Lankford said.
