WASHINGTON, DC— Today, Congressman Bryan Steil (WI-01) wrote U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Chris Magnus expressing frustration at the agencies’ failure to fulfill their mission and protect the U.S. southern border.

“Our border is not secure. We have a humanitarian crisis and a drug trafficking crisis along our border. There have been over 1.9 million illegal border crossings this Fiscal Year and a more than a 1,000% increase in fentanyl seizures.

We need to hold Secretary Mayorkas and Commissioner Magnus accountable and protect our national security.”  

Background:

Steil was joined by Reps. Tim Walberg, Maria Salazar, Pete Stauber, Doug Lamborn, Dan Meuser, Richard Hudson, Ben Cline, Tracey Mann, and John Moolenaar,
