Congressman makes charge as Border Patrol braces for lifting of Title 42
In an apparent effort to downplay the crisis at the U.S. southern border, the Department of Homeland Security has erased the parole requests of more than 300,000 illegal immigrants from its reporting, charges Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz.
In a letter Monday to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Biggs said the department has not fully complied with congressional demands for accurate border information, reported the Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard.
The congressman – who is challenging California Rep. Kevin McCarthy for the House speakership – wrote that the Customs and Border Protection agency’s enormous parole figures were missing in a recent report.
“The lack of CBP data is either a mistake or a blatant attempt by your department to hide the extent of your use of parole,” said Biggs.
