In the meantime, their policies have created a historic border crisis and have crushed the morale of the Border Patrol. Mayorkas has lost the confidence of the American people.\n\n\u201cPunishing these individuals for trying to secure the border amid the worst border crisis in American history sends the message to all DHS employees that they will be punished for merely doing their jobs. Secretary Mayorkas must explain his actions to Congress.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:39:01Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://biggs.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-biggs-calls-briefing-dhs-move-discipline-innocent-border-patrol"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4391019940376282, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
