Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem blasted her predecessor in an exclusive interview with “Pod Force One,” out Wednesday, claiming Alejandro Mayorkas opened the southern border to drug and human traffickers.
“I don’t know how he slept at night,” Noem told The Post’s Miranda Devine, suggesting that Mayorkas took his “direction” from the Biden White House, where Vice President Kamala Harris served as “border czar.”
“I don’t know how he slept at night knowing the vulnerabilities he was creating for this country and the people he was letting in and allowing to undo us,” the 53-year-old said.
Under former President Joe Biden, the number of border crossings broke all-time records and more than 8 million migrants entered the US — including criminals, known gang members and hundreds of others on terror watchlists.
“I think one of the biggest disservices they did to the country was not fulfill the mission of what the department was established for; it literally is to secure the homeland,” Noem went on.
“And he opened the doors and said, ‘Come on in. If you are from an evil foreign government or a terrorist organization or a gang, you’re more than welcome, and we’re going to ignore our laws and treat you better than we do the American citizens.'”
House Republicans impeached Mayorkas in February 2024 for having willfully refused to comply with federal immigration laws and lying to Congress about the US border being “secure.”
“They didn’t even try to close the border,” Noem said on the podcast.
“That’s what I think. Knowing you were doing nothing and watching, if you watched, the inhumanity of what was happening at the border.”
The Democrat-controlled Senate voted against holding an impeachment trial, acquitting Biden’s border enforcement official.
Since returning to the White House, Trump has overseen the deportation of more than 300,000 migrants who illegally entered the country, the majority of whom are believed to have criminal records. --->READ MORE HERE
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem tore into her predecessor, Alejandro Mayorkas, for opening the U.S.-Mexico border to drug smugglers and human traffickers.
While in Chicago for Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, Noem spoke with the New York Post's Miranda Devine on the "Pod Force One" podcast.
Devine suggested Mayorkas was "probably the most militant ideologue" in the Biden administration.
"I don't know how he slept at night," Noem said. "I don't know how he slept at night knowing the vulnerabilities he was creating for this country and the people he was letting in and allowing to undo us."
Border crossings set all-time records and more than 8 million migrants entered the U.S. under then-President Joe Biden, the Post reported. The aliens included criminals, known gang members, and hundreds of others on terror watch lists.
Noem said Mayorkas likely was "told" by the Biden White House what to do at the border.
"I think one of the biggest disservices they did to the country was not fulfill the mission of what the department was established for; it literally is to secure the homeland," Noem said.
"And he [Mayorkas] opened the doors and said, 'Come on in. If you are from an evil foreign government or a terrorist organization or a gang, you're more than welcome, and we're going to ignore our laws and treat you better than we do the American citizens.'" --->READ MORE HERE
