YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDepartment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday blamed long work hours for his inability — for a second day — to provide basic information to Congress on how many migrants detained at the border have been released or returned to their home countries.
During a virtual hearing with the Homeland Security Committee focused on “Worldwide Threats to the Homeland: 20 Years After 9/11,” Mayorkas had a tense exchange with Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.), who pressed him on the matter.
Gimenez first asked Mayorkas to clarify how many immigrants have been apprehended at the border so far this year, which the secretary said was around 1.5 million.
“Let me ask you, [of the] 1.5 million that we’ve apprehended, how many people have been returned?” he asked. “How many people are being detained and how many people have been dispersed?”
