Mayorkas told Congress that 85% of migrants are released into the US

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified before Congress that border is ‘as secure as it can be’ and that he did not “recall’ saying 85% of migrants apprehended at the southern border are being released into the US. Mayorka said he could not recall saying earlier this year that more than 85% were released into US.

Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan accuses DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of withholding files of alleged illegal immigrant criminals. Jordan says Mayorka failed to comply with document requests by committee for files of illegal immigrants. Jordan: 'Failed to comply' with requests for documents by committee.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas deflects when asked if 'above 85%' of illegal immigrants are released into the US. He said 'above' 85% of those who enter the US are released, but not all of them are illegal immigrants. The report was published by Fox News Digital on Wednesday.
