Lankford Demands Mayorkas Clarify Testimony on Migrants After Leaked Documents Contradict Him

Senator James Lankford (R-OK) sent a letter to Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas after evidence surfaced that contradicted the testimony Mayorkas gave while Lankford questioned him during a Senate Homeland Security hearing in September 2021. Mayorkas testified that ICE would enforce the law and deport individuals who received a “Notice to Report” but did not report to ICE. Recent reporting on a new DHS initiative called Operation Horizon shows that ICE is not enforcing the law against the illegal border crossers who have not followed instructions and reported to ICE within 60-days.
