    Republicans had accused Mayorkas of “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law,” claiming he violated immigration laws by failing to detain a sufficient number of migrants.

    They were sad that he did not lock up enough brown people.

        Nope. Apprehensions are also at their highest so it is quite possible that CBP is getting a higher percentage that are coming over the border.

            Yep. You’ve been able to see shit like RWDS (Right Wing Death Squad) patches and ‘Free Helicopter Rides’ at conservative events for years now.
