Top Senate Republicans on April 1 called for Democrats to hold a public hearing on the border crisis and question Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
“While we may not agree on the causes of or the solutions to this crisis, we believe it is vitally important for the Senate Judiciary Committee to exercise its oversight authority and seek testimony from Secretary Mayorkas and relevant officials at U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Department of Health and Human Services regarding the situation at the border and the Biden Administration’s response to it,” Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) wrote in a letter.
