Mayorkas — not Biden or Harris — heading to Texas border towns Thursday

While in El Paso and McAllen, Mayorkas plans to meet with local law enforcement, Homeland Security employees and 이주 advocates about the nation’s migrant crisis, KFOX 14 in El Paso reported.

Neither 바이든 대통령 nor Vice President 카말라 해리스 are scheduled to accompany Mayorkas to the border. Biden put Harris in charge of the crisis last month and although she said in late March she would visit the border “어느 시점에서” no trip has been publicly scheduled.

Mayorkas’ scheduled visit also follows Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s call Wednesday for a San Antonio migrant housing facility to be shuttered amid allegations that some children living there have been sexually assaulted.

Mayorkas took a hard line on border security while speaking with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (빙) employees last week, 워싱턴 타임즈에 따르면. He said he would fight sanctuary cities that don’t comply with the agency and wants to see an increase in deportations for illegal crossings.
