DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas declined to appear before the House Homeland Security Committee for a January 18 hearing, despite multiple invitations.
The committee expressed frustration and emphasized the importance of oversight.
The hearing, titled “Voices for the Victims: The Heartbreaking Reality of the Mayorkas Border Crisis,” will feature testimony from Angel Moms who have lost their children to illegal alien crime and fentanyl poisoning.
“The committee has given Secretary Mayorkas chance after chance to appear and explain his actions, decisions, and statements to us and to the American people,” House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green said.

“Over the past several months, he has tacitly rejected those offers, resorting instead to political games and delay. We would have liked to include his oral testimony in the official record of these historic proceedings. However, this Committee — part of a co-equal branch of government — will not accept indefinite delays.”
“Our request for written testimony from Secretary Mayorkas is his last chance to show some semblance of respect for the people’s representatives and our constitutional oversight duties. The American people are begging for Congress to act, and we will heed that call. Congressional oversight will continue, with or without Secretary Mayorkas’s cooperation,” he said.
The hearing aims to shed light on the impact of lax border policies, which have led to a significant influx of illegal aliens and drugs into American communities, resulting in tragic deaths.
