DHS Secretary Mayorkas Criticizes Texas's Handling of Illegal Immigration

At a recent event, Mayorkas expressed concern over Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s tactics, which include deploying state resources to transport illegal immigrants to other states and implementing strict local laws. He described these actions as “incomprehensible” and suggested they create disorder without addressing the underlying issues. Mayorkas praised Harris for her work in partnering with Central American nations to tackle factors driving migration, such as poverty and violence. He emphasized the need for a coordinated federal response to immigration rather than state-led initiatives that may conflict with national policy.
