House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.) on March 20 co-signed a letter to Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, asserting that he has misrepresented “DHS’s own data” while perpetuating an incorrect narrative on the screening of illegal immigrants in what they called the failure to resolve “the worst border crisis in American history.”
“You implied that ‘the vast majority’ of illegal aliens who are released from DHS custody first receive and pass a credible-fear screening before they are released into the country.” the congressmen wrote, referring to a Feb. 18 interview Mayorkas did with Chris Wallace on CNN.
