Mayorkas faces intense criticism from Senate and House Republicans over border policies.

Senate Republicans criticized Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas during a hearing, with some demanding his resignation and one suggesting a no-confidence vote. Mayorkas was accused of being "derelict in his duties" and "failing miserably" at the border. Democrats defended Mayorkas, while Republicans accused him of failing to address human trafficking and the surge of migrants at the southern border. Meanwhile, Democrats and Republicans in Congress have proposed their own immigration plans, with little agreement on how to tackle the issue.
