DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday morning.
Host Margaret Brennen had asked Secretary Mayorkas if the illegal alien who killed Laken Riley should have been deported. He never answered, but instead deflected the question.
Laken Riley, a 22-year-old Georgia nursing student, was brutally murdered by one of Joe Biden’s illegal aliens.
Biden won’t say Laken Riley’s name either.
“Should this man have been deported?” Brennen asked Mayorkas.
“One individual is responsible for the murder, and that is the murderer,” Mayorkas responded.
“Are you saying there that the Federal Government had been informed about this individual and the alleged crimes he had committed in those states because he could have been deported if that was the case. Was there a breakdown in the system?” Brennen continued.
“So um, Margaret, there are a number of cities around the country that have varying degrees of cooperation with the the immigration authorities,” Mayorkas continued.

I’d rather his head be smashed in like that girl, but a slow death out at sea would be OK with me.
Criminals are the Brown Shirts for the Dems.
Commit crime. Back on streets. Create a sense of chaos.
Donate billions to ukraine or have an open border.
It’s blackmail.
He should have been executed.
The death penalty is appropriate for murder.
“U.S. CODE
TITLE 2—THE CONGRESS
CHAPTER 6—CONGRESSIONAL AND COMMITTEE PROCEDURE; INVESTIGATIONS
Sec. 193. Privilege of witnesses
No witness is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact, or to produce any paper, respecting which he shall be examined by either House of Congress, or by any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or by any committee of either House, upon the ground that his testimony to such fact or his production of such paper may tend to disgrace him or otherwise render him infamous.”
Simply look up Hinds Precedents, especially chapters 53 and 51, and Cannon’s Precedents, especially chapters 184-185. You’ll find numerous detailed cases of Congress asserting its power, arresting people, holding them until they agreed to answer questions, and then releasing them. Some of these people did not refuse to appear, but simply failed to satisfactorily answer questions.
Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)
If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.
Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.
Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.
Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

In 1857, a New York Times reporter refused to say which members of Congress had asked him to get them bribes (protecting his “sources” just as various Judith Millers today protect the people who feed them proven lies that costs thousands of lives), so Congress locked him up until he answered and then banned him from Congress.
In 1924 an oil executive appeared but refused to answer certain questions, so the Senate held — literally held — him in contempt. Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana argued that this question of contempt was of the gravest importance, and that it involved “the very life of the effective existence of the House of Representatives of the United States and of the Senate of the United States.” The matter was taken to court, and the witness fined and imprisoned.
Deport him back to Cuber.
This is what he wants.
Why doesn’t he come out and say it: he had a right to kill her.
If an illegal kills a US citizen, do they automatically get you a citizenship?
He’s the biggest scumbag in the Biden Administration next to the Big Guy, and that’s saying something.
Shoot 'im an' be done with it.
Didn’t understand the question. When you deal with a person with the IQ equal the the cell count of an Amoeba, you need to speak slowly, distinctly, make exaggerated lip movements and allow him one phone call for assistance.

"We Don’t Bear Responsibility"
- DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Feb. 2024
The enforcement of our immigration laws (not new laws, just the robust enforcement of the laws passed by Congress and previous administrations) has been an incredible reward for Americans who respect the rule of law.
p
Deport him from a C-130.
