Watch live: Mayorkas testifies before House panel on border security, immigration
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is appearing before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, just one day after a federal court struck down a Biden administration policy restricting migrants’ access to asylum.
The rule required migrants to attempt to find asylum in a country they passed through or apply online before requesting asylum in the U.S. The Biden administration is expected to appeal the decision.
Mayorkas has been the focus of broad GOP criticism, including calls for impeachment, over the large numbers of migrants who have attempted to enter the U.S. since Biden took office.
The hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. ET.
