Will Joe Biden’s Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas ever be held accountable for America’s wide open border during the Biden administration?
President Donald Trump believes the matter should be criminally investigated, and on Tuesday he instructed Kristi Noem, his own DHS secretary, to look into the matter.
During a news conference at “Alligator Alcatraz” in Ochopee, Florida, reporter Julio Rosas of Blaze Media asked Trump: “A couple months ago, I ran into former DHS Secretary Mayorkas and I asked him a couple questions about his disastrous handling of the border. He didn’t like my questions.
“But the number one question that I heard from people in responding to my video is why wasn’t – why hasn’t he been arrested yet? You know, obviously, you guys are clearing up the mess obviously that was deliberately made for the past four years, and so, people want accountability.
“It’s great to see that the border secured and it’s great to see the state-level cooperation, but I would ask you, why hasn’t he been held accountable, or anybody really been held accountable?”
Trump responded: “Well, I’d take a look at that because what he did was – it’s beyond incompetence. Something had to be done.
“Now, with that being said, he took orders from other people, and he was really doing the orders and you could say he was very loyal to them, because it must have been very hard for him to stand up and sit up and, you know, talk about what he allowed to happen to this country, and be serious about it, so he was given orders.

“If he wasn’t given a pardon, I could see looking at that. In fact, why didn’t you take a look at it, Kristi? He was impeached? But yeah, it was just a fake impeachment. Why don’t you take a look at it?
“I think he was so bad. They were all so bad. Look, it was the worst president in the history of our country. We’ve had some bad ones, but he was the worst president. But somebody told Mayorkas to do that, and he followed orders, but that doesn’t necessarily hold him harmless. So, take a look at it. Very good question, actually.”
: I ran into former DHS Sec. Mayorkas at the airport.
I asked him how he feels now that the U.S. has a secure border under President Trump. I also asked him if he regrets allowing Tren de Aragua into our country.
He didn’t answer any of my questions. pic.twitter.com/qFpx2xZ6pG

Mayorkas was in charge of Homeland Security for almost the whole Biden term, allowing a major relaxation in the enforcement of immigration laws, allowing millions of migrants to simply walk across the border.
Republicans in the U.S. House impeached him for misleading Congress and failing to enforce federal laws, but the Senate acquitted him last year.
