THE WASHINGTON STAND—The Biden administration has intervened to prevent the Secret Service from briefing a House committee investigating the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, a member of the committee told Family Research Council. “After the Secret Service agreed to brief members of the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security took over communications with the committee and has since refused to confirm a briefing time,” said a statement from the Oversight Committee emailed to FRC from Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz.. “The Oversight Committee has a long record of bipartisan oversight of the Secret Service, and...

Illegal migrants who are caught and bussed out of the country can use the “CBP One” cellphone app to get government permission to re-enter the United States, border czar Alejandro Mayorkas declared on June 26. “If an [caught] individual has agreed to and been returned voluntarily [to Mexico], are they eligible for a CBP One appointment? They are,” he told a reporter at his tightly managed Tucson press conference on June 26. “They don’t want to actually bar people from coming into the country,” responded Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “They just want the [illegal migrants]...

Embattled Dept. of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas sat down for an interview Sunday with NBC's "Meet the Press," where among the issues discussed were the border crisis, the House GOP's attempts to impeach him, and the Hur report. The Hur report, as we've also talked about, has brought about a plethora of frenzied reactions from officials in Joe Biden's administration, including White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who during the Monday press briefing actually claimed Biden didn't need to take a cognitive test because he "proves every day how he operates, how he thinks," an alarming statement if there ever...

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Chief Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday said securing the border and limiting asylum is “violence to our fundamental values.” 12,000 illegal aliens flooded over the border in the last 24 hours in the highest single-day total ever recorded. Bill Melugin reported from Lukeville, Arizona on Wednesday and showed a massive line of illegals at the border. Most of the illegals are military-aged single men from around the world including Africa and Syria. A live look at the situation in Lukeville, AZ this morning, as record high illegal crossings surge along the southern border. Here – masses...

During an interview with Bloomberg TV on Monday, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas responded to a question on how to handle people who are in the country illegally by stating that there are “12 million people who are here in the United States who have been contributing so fundamentally to our country’s well-being.” Host Romaine Bostick said that the consequences for arriving at the border irregularly won’t be a deterrent for a lot of people and don’t “address the other sort of elephant in the room, which is dealing with the undocumented immigrants who are already here in the nation. And...

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said Monday on MSNBC’s “Ana Cabrera Reports” that the “climate crisis” was one of the “most prominent threats that we face.” Cabrera asked, “Zooming out when you look at all of these natural disasters happening at the same time, and it just seems like the hit keeps coming, former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson, someone who has held your role before, has told me he believes the climate crisis may be the greatest threat to U.S. national security. Do you agree with that?” Mayorkas said, “I think it is one of the most prominent threats...

During an appearance on ABC’s “This Week,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas downplayed what has been panned as a lackluster effort by the administration at the U.S.-Mexico border. Mayorkas told anchor Martha Raddatz he thought the Biden administration was doing a “good job.” "These are remarkably distinct times, and we have a multifaceted approach, not only to work with our partner countries but to bring law enforcement to bear, to attack the smuggling organizations in an unprecedented way. We are doing so very much. "We are addressing this issue vigorously and aggressively, to address the amount of — the number...

Having watched a bunch of Republican Senators question Mayorkas, I have come to the conclusion his "don't have an answer to that/I can send you the data on that," and his repeated refusal to answer good logical questions leads me to bestow upon him the award for best bureaucratic bs artist and King of the Bureaucratic Morass.

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that the recently announced head of the so-called Disinformation Governance Board, Nina Jankowicz was a “tremendous authority.” Anchor Bret Baier said, “The president picked to lead this is Nina Jankowicz. She is taking heat for tweets and comments about major news stories, the Hunter Biden laptop story, others. The laptop story obviously was blocked from social media outlets because it was called Russian propaganda until it wasn’t. Do you really think Jankowicz is anywhere near objective enough for this particular job?”

On December 13, a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed an order issued by Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, enjoining the Biden administration’s June 1 termination of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), better known as “Remain in Mexico”. The circuit court’s decision is a doozy, and I trust the Biden administration is chastened by the exercise. History of Remain in Mexico, and the Biden Administration’s Attempts to End It. In a November 4 post, I provided a full run-down of the Remain in Mexico saga...

President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas officially ended the “Remain in Mexico” program, which sought to cut asylum fraud by preventing the release of migrants into the United States. Immediately after taking office, Biden suspended the Remain in Mexico program, nearly two years after it was implemented by the Trump administration to reduce asylum fraud. Days later, Biden instructed top DHS officials to strategize a plan that would release at least 25,600 migrants enrolled in the program into the U.S. interior. On Tuesday, Mayorkas announced the official end of Remain in Mexico, despite its highly...

As a president, Joe Biden is a mess, always wrong on every foreign policy decision, as Bob Gates used to say. One of his biggest, among many, is his hideous decision to halt construction of President Trump's border wall, which has since led to hundreds of thousands of illegals pouring in. Being Incompetent Joe, he didn't see it coming.Now, old Joe's got no choice but to backtrack. According to the Washington Times:Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told department employees he may restart border wall construction to plug what he called “gaps” in the current barrier.In a conversation with...

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas asserts it is “extraordinarily disrespectful” to ask him about American victims of crimes committed by illegal aliens. During a hearing before the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday, Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) asked Mayorkas about illegal alien crime victims. Specifically, Cammack referenced the case of 19-year-old Amber Scott, a high school cheerleader at the time in Douglas County, Colorado, who was kidnapped at knifepoint in 2006 by 25-year-old illegal alien Pedro Martinez. Martinez had been previously deported to his native Mexico after three felony drug convictions, but he returned illegally to the...

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas: “… for so long, and we have already begun to implement. We are progressing every single day. I don’t have a particular timeline, but all I can do is communicate, both to the American public, and to the individuals seeking protection, that we are working around the clock seven days a week to make that time frame as short as possible, but they need to wait. But they need to wait with a particular goal in mind. We are not saying, don’t come, we are saying, don’t come now, because we will be able to...

I wrote earlier about the mess that Joe Biden is fast making of dealing with illegal immigration and how his DHS secretary doesn’t appear to have the first idea about what’s going on or how they are encouraging a surge. But the folks in the border areas know and they’re not at all happy about it. They’re speaking out and now even the Democrats are warning about the danger of Joe Biden’s policies. Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX), a moderate, warned against easing up on illegal aliens, pointing to the effect on Texans, local hospitals and the concerns about spreading the...
