Rep. Carlos Giménez urges DHS to reconsider allowing Border Patrols chiefs to testify before Congress
Fox News
Congressman Carlos Giménez is urging Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to allow four Border Patrol chiefs to testify about the southern border crisis.
"This crisis is absolutely unsustainable and is a direct result of the failed open-border policies [the Biden Administration] has pursued," Giménez says in the letter, sent to Mayorkas following an in-person meeting held in Miami with the DHS chief along with Reps. Maria Salazar and Mario Diaz-Balart. Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more.
Fox News is told this is the first time Mayorkas has held a meeting of this type with GOP members of Congress in the field.
Giménez in his letter tells Mayorkas the American people were "horrified" that he denied Chief Patrol Agents Jason Owens, Gregory Bovino, Gloria Chavez, and Patricia McGurk-Daniel "the right to testify at a Congressional hearing about how U.S. Border Patrol agents are managing the crisis and the impact of the crisis on their mission to secure the border."
