Chairman Jordan: ICE Officers are attempting to arrest fewer aliens because of the Biden administration's enforcement priorities memo. According to the IG, we know that even aliens who illegally cross the border, are on the terrorist watchlist, can be released into the United States, free to board an airplane and head to the US city of their choice.

Nadler: To be clear, republicans have not established any legitimate grounds to impeach Secretary Mayorkas. They have not uncovered evidence of wrongdoing or malfeasance of any kind.

[Mayorkas has been shown to have committed numerous federal crimes]

Mayorkas: Americans are safer today on the border, in the air, at sea, across the country and around the world, because of the Department of Homeland Security.

McClintock: While encounters [of illegals at the border] were up five times, removals are down by seventy-five percent.

McClintock: Director Wray also testified that we have no idea how many terrorists are among the one and a half million known gotaways that have entered under your policies, but that there's been a significant increase in terrorists apprehended at the border. When your administration abandoned Afghanistan, it released five thousand terrorists that were being held at Bagram. Ten days later, one of them killed thirteen US Servicemembers at Kabul Airport. Wray said we don't know where the other five thousand are, but it's clear to me that we're under growing danger of a coordinated terrorist attack because of your policies.

Mayorkas: We have actually issued a regulation, the first of it's kind, that has reduced the time between encounter at the border, and the final adjudication of an asylum claim.

[illegals are given court dates that are years from encounter to adjudication]

Buck: According to the Department of Justice's latest report on the subject, sixty-four percent of federal arrests involve non-citizens committing crimes, despite them comprising only seven percent of the population.

Mayorkas: In this country, there are between eleven and twelve million undocumented individuals. [smiling]

[the number is closer to forty million]

Gaetz: Is Mexico an ally in this fight against illegal immigration?

Mayorkas: Yes, it is.

Gaetz: It's hilarious and somewhat troubling that you say that, because I'm looking at the El Chapo trial, where President Nieto took a hundred million dollar bribe from the Sinaloa Cartel. Do you think that the subsequent presidents following Nieto weren't offered a bribe by the cartel, or didn't take the bribe?

Mayorkas: I disagree with everything you have said.

Gaetz: The Mexican government is captive to the cartels. They are doing the bidding of the cartels, and based on your response today, so are you.

Mike Johnson to Mayorkas: You're saying things to us under oath that are proven by the record to be untrue.

Mike Johnson: Who determines what's inaccurate? Who determines what's false? Do you understand the problem here? The reason the framers of our Constitution did not create an exception for "false information" from the First Amendment, is because they didn't trust the government to determine what it is. And you have whole committees of people in your agency, trying to determine what they define as false, or misinformation.

Mayorkas: That is not true…what we do is disclose the tactics that adverse nation states are utilizing to weaponize information.

Johnson: No, sir. The court found specifically, it's a find and a fact that is not disputed by the government defendants…they determined that you and your cohorts made no distinction between domestic speech and foreign speech.

Schiff: In 2016, the Russians intervened heavily in our election to try and elect Donald Trump.

Tiffany: There were seventy thousand, one hundred and ninety-two Afghans brought into the United States [after the fall of Kabul]. Will you be reviewing each individual status on a case by case basis as this [two year] expiration happens?

Mayorkas: We reviewed them on a case by case basis, and when those parole periods are subject to renewal, we will do so again.

Tiffany: The commander down at Ft. McCoy in my state…said they were not interviewed on a case by case basis…not one of those people that came in from Afghanistan were sent through the special immigrant visa process. They were simply given parole. Do you know how much damage was don to Ft. McCoy during that period when those twelve thousand plus Afghans came in?

Mayorkas: The individuals who benefited from Operation Allies Welcome, were indeed screened and vetted by government personnel.

Tiffany: They were brought in categorical parole. There was 145.6 million dollars of damage that was done to Ft. McCoy…the place was virtually destroyed.
