DHS chief Mayorkas to face lawmakers at House hearing amid border crisis
Fox News
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas will appear before the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday, as the Biden administration finds itself facing a crisis at the southern border with a surge of migrants that includes an overwhelming number of unaccompanied children.
The number of migrant children in federal custody has surged past 4,000 with roughly 94% of beds for migrant children occupied, the source said. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is refusing to call the situation a "crisis" as they scramble to construct new facilities to hold child migrants. Earlier this month, Mayorcas characterized what is happening as "a challenge at the border that we are managing."More Related News
