Ron Johnson Calls On DHS to Reveal Number of Illegal Immigrants Released into U.S.:

Senator Ron Johnson (R., Wis.) is demanding that the Department of Homeland Security share with Congress any internal administration communications related to its decision to release hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants into the U.S., according to a new report.

In a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Friday, obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, Johnson asked the agency to reveal the exact number of illegal immigrants who have been allowed into the U.S. with a notice to appear before an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office, as well as the number of illegal immigrants who have been transported to cities across the U.S. after being apprehended at the border.

“ICE might not be properly assessing these illegal aliens before releasing them into the interior of the U.S.,” the letter reads. “If true, ICE’s reported actions could threaten the safety and security of all Americans.”

Johnson writes that DHS previously informed him that at least 500,000 illegal immigrants had been released into the U.S. and that the agency had recorded another 344,000 “known-got aways” — those who avoided apprehension and are likely in the country illegally. --->READ MORE HERE

GOP Senator Pressing Biden Admin To Disclose Number of Illegal Immigrants Released into US:

More than half million migrants released into US as border crisis reaches breaking point

A Republican senator is demanding the Biden administration hand Congress all documents and internal communications related to its decision to release more than half a million illegal immigrants into the United States.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R., Wis.), a member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, instructed the Department of Homeland Security late last week to provide him and other lawmakers with internal administration communications detailing the exact number of illegal immigrants who have been shipped across the United States after being apprehended at the border this fiscal year. Johnson also wants to know the exact number of illegals who have been let into the United States with a notice to appear before an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office, according to a copy of a letter sent to Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas that was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

"ICE might not be properly assessing these illegal aliens before releasing them into the interior of the U.S.," Johnson wrote, raising concerns shared by many in the GOP. "If true, ICE’s reported actions could threaten the safety and security of all Americans."

Johnson’s investigation into the escalating border crisis comes as the Biden administration grapples with a massive influx of illegal immigrants along the southern border with Mexico. Nearly two million illegal immigrants have entered the United States in fiscal year 2021 alone, and the Biden administration has been releasing immigrants into cities across the country. The issue has generated widespread outrage in Congress and could come to a head in the coming weeks as a group of thousands of migrants travel through Central America on their way to the southern border, where they will strain an already overwhelmed Customs and Border Protection agency. --->READ MORE HERE
