"Mayorkas Faces GOP Pressure on Immigration and Border Issues"

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas deflected questions about a report stating that over 85% of illegal immigrants apprehended at the U.S. border are released into the country, claiming he was not familiar with the specific statistic. Mayorkas faced scrutiny from Rep. Michael Guest during a House Appropriations Committee hearing, with Republicans planning to halt Senate legislative business if a full trial into the articles of impeachment against Mayorkas is not conducted.
