House Freedom Caucus member, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), lambasted Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for declining to explain why more than 1 million illegal immigrants who federal judges have ordered deported have not been removed.
During a heated exchange before the House Judiciary Committee hearing on Capitol Hill Wednesday morning, Biggs erupted at Mayorkas and called his response "disgusting" after the Biden official did not provide detailed answers about his role in enforcing immigration laws and handling the fentanyl epidemic.
"Since we've been sitting here since today, that's the number of drug overdoses due to fentanyl in the country," Biggs said and pointed to a display behind him that showed 13 people had died of a drug overdose in the United States since the hearing began at 10 a.m. EDT. "So my question for you is, who's responsible? Is it Joe Biden as president of the United States, or is it U.S. secretary of Homeland Security, for the open border where fentanyl is coming across and we have American citizens dying?"
