In yet another display of arrogance and disregard for the American people, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has refused to appear before the House Homeland Security Committee alongside the courageous Angel Moms. These brave women have tragically lost their children to both illegal alien crime and the deadly poison of fentanyl. It seems that Mayorkas is too busy playing political games and evading accountability to face the consequences of his actions.
Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) expressed his frustration, stating that Mayorkas has been given multiple opportunities to explain himself and his decisions, but has chosen instead to hide behind delays. Mayorkas has no respect for the committee or the American people. This refusal is just another example of the Biden administration’s refusal to take responsibility for the disastrous border crisis they have created.
This man should be impeached and prosecuted. His actions go well beyond dereliction of duty.

The hearing, aptly titled “Voices for the Victims: The Heartbreaking Reality of the Mayorkas Border Crisis,” will feature powerful testimony from Angel Moms who have experienced unimaginable pain. Tammy Nobles, whose daughter was brutally murdered by an MS-13 gang member released into the U.S. as an unaccompanied alien child, will share her heartbreaking story. She has repeatedly spoken out about the need for stricter border policies to prevent more families from suffering the same fate.
Josephine Dunn, another Angel Mom, will also speak at the hearing. Her daughter tragically died after ingesting a fentanyl tablet, a deadly drug trafficked across the southern border by Mexican drug cartels. This crisis is taking the lives of tens of thousands of Americans every month, surpassing even car accidents and breast cancer as a leading cause of death. The fact that the Biden administration is doing nothing to address this crisis is a disgrace.
It is clear that Mayorkas’s refusal to appear before Congress is a deliberate attempt to avoid accountability. But the American people are demanding action, and Congress will not back down. The hearing, with or without Mayorkas’s cooperation, will continue to shed light on the devastating consequences of his failed policies. It’s time for the Biden administration to stop playing political games and start prioritizing the safety and well-being of the American people.
