Homeland GOP report blames Mayorkas for 'devastating human costs' of migrant crisis

A new House Homeland Security Committee report is outlining the "devastating human costs" of the crisis at the southern border, blaming it on Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

The latest report is the third of its kind from the committee to detail Mayorkas’ handling of the crisis. It comes amid blistering criticism from Republicans, including calls by some for his impeachment for the implementation of policies which they say have fueled the border crisis — including reduced interior enforcement and expanded "catch-and-release." Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

It follows a committee hearing in September where members heard about the human effects of the crisis — including child trafficking, overwhelmed Border Patrol agents, and the ongoing effects of fentanyl trafficking in from Mexico.
