Republicans fume at Mayorkas over border policies at fiery House hearing: 'Our constituents want answers'
Fox News
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas received a grilling from House Republicans on the chamber's Judiciary Committee on Wednesday over his handling of the border crisis.
The fireworks came as part of a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the department, which has been at the center of the handling of the ongoing crisis at the southern border in its third year. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
Mayorkas has become a lightning rod for the crisis, with Republicans blaming him for running "open border" policies they say sparked and then fueled the border crisis, which saw over 1.7 million migrant encounters in fiscal 2021 and over 2.4 million in fiscal 2022.
