Gimenez: In fiscal year 2020, there were four hundred and fifty-eight thousand encounters at the border. In fiscal year 2021, there was one million, seven hundred and thirty-four thousand, six hundred and eighty-six encounters at the border. That's a four hundred percent increase. There was no really significant change in the funding, so this whole narrative that somehow funding is the issue; funding is not the issue. The issue is policy. The policies that have been implemented by this administration, and your department in particular [Mayorkas/DHS], have led to this catastrophic failure of our immigration in the United States.
Pfluger: Are you still searching for people in the United States that we know match the terror watch list?
Wray: I'm not sure I can answer that here, because it's a constantly moving target.
Wray: China has a bigger hacking program than that of every other major nation combined, and has stolen more of American's personal and corporate data than that of every nation, big or small, combined.
Wray: There is not a doubt in my mind, that if the Chinese government wanted to be more aggressive and serious about clamping down on precursors for Fentanyl and meth, and pill presses, there are all sorts of things they could do, and we would welcome their contribution to that.
[President Trump had Xi willing to do just that, and then the election was stolen]
Garcia: Is our country currently being invaded?
Mayorkas: That is a term that I find to be offensive.
Garcia: And I do as well.
Garcia: Mr. Secretary, I wrote to you ahead of Donald Trump's first indictment, expressing concerns about his ability to provoke violent attacks, and I would like to thank you for your ongoing attention to this matter, and more broadly, for taking on the challenges we have around white supremacy, around huge actions that are happening across this country that impact a lot of people.
Marjorie Greene: Mr. Wray, are you interested in members of congress that are organized and participating in a Facebook group that has ties to Hamas? [showing Tlaib article]
Wray: We're not investigating people for participating in a Facebook group.
Greene: A Facebook group that is tied to Hamas?
Wray: We have multiple investigations into individuals affiliated with Hamas, and they're active investigations.
Greene: You're going to tell me as FBI director, you will not investigate Americans or United States members of congress that are linked to known terrorists?
Wray: That's not what I said…we are going to investigate individuals who are affiliated with Hamas if they meet our standards for predication, which are long-standing standards set by this department, and the prior department, and the department before that.
