A group of 133 House Republicans is accusing the Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS) of willfully disregarding the law and endangering American citizens by embracing open border policies.
The House representatives told Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in an April 25 letter that his “actions have willingly endangered American citizens, undermined the rule of law, and our nation’s sovereignty.”
The lawmakers allege that the DHS head is not carrying out “in good faith” an April 2021 federal court order requiring continued execution of the Trump-era Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP, or the “Remain in Mexico” policy) after the department suspended enrollments in the program in January 2021.
