(TX-36), co-chairs of the Congressional Border Security Caucus, sent a letter to CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus and ICE Acting Director Tae Johnson inviting them to speak to caucus about their efforts to secure our border and enforce our nation\u2019s immigration laws.\n\n\u201cThe Biden administration has created the worst border crisis in American history. On his first day in office, President Biden began rolling back Trump-era policies that reduced illegal immigration and secured our border. He halted construction of the border wall, ended the Remain in Mexico program, and restricted enforcement of Title 42 so much that barely anyone is being expelled. Couple that with limiting ICE\u2019s ability to remove aliens from the country and hamstringing Border Patrol\u2019s ability to do their job, he\u2019s essentially rolled out the welcome mat for illegal aliens worldwide,\u201dsaid Congressman Andy Biggs. \"Given their mission and statutory obligation to secure the nation against illegal immigration, I hope Commissioner Magnus and Acting Director Johnson will come speak with the caucus to answer questions and explain how they are working to address the concerns of the American people.\u201d\n\n\u201cOur nation is in jeopardy because of the catastrophe happening on the southern border. We need immediate answers from CBP Commissioner Magnus and ICE Acting Director Johnson about what they\u2019re doing to fulfill their oaths of office and secure our border. Our safety and sovereignty are at stake.\u201d\u2013 Congressman Brian Babin\n\nLast year, Congressmen Biggs and Babin invited Secretary Mayorkas to meet with the caucus. He has yet to accept the invitation.\n\nSee letter to CBP Commissioner Magnus here and letter to ICE Acting Director Johnson here.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:57:46Z"]], "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/congressmen-biggs-babin-invite-cbp-ice-leaders-border-security-caucus-meeting"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.2444111052900553, "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"}
