GOP senator demands probe into agents moved to 'make sandwiches' for migrants after whistleblower complaints
Fox News
Sen. Josh Hawley is seeking a DHS OIG investigation into claims by whistleblowers that ICE special agents are being dispatched to the border to "baby sit" illegal immigrants.
Hawley had quizzed DHS Secretary Mayorkas last week about the testimony, adding that around 600 agents are believed to have been moved to the southern border. Mayorkas told Hawley the agents are "combating the fight against fentanyl."

"That's not what the special agent is alleging. That's not what she said," Hawley replied. "She said that they were being taken off of fentanyl interdiction, off child exploitation cases, off of their other investigations into criminals to make sandwiches. That's her quote. You're saying that this is a lie? That she's wrong?"
