DHS's delayed, patronizing response failed to include the information necessary to fully understand the scope and process of the department's unlawful release of illegal aliens from their custody. “Secretary Mayorkas took eight months to respond to questions I asked,” said Congressman Andy Biggs. “DHS’s answers—more like excuses—reflect the dangerous state of our southern border thanks to the Biden administration’s destructive policies. I have requested additional information from DHS and expect a more timely and more complete response from Secretary Mayorkas.” For more information about the inadequacy of DHS’ response, see this analysis from Center for Immigration Studies’ Andrew R. Arthur. Mr. Arthur raised important questions that DHS must answer. Read original letter from May 2021 here. The response letter from DHS here. The answers from DHS here. And Rep. Biggs's follow up letter here. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:57:46Z |
