Mayorkas and Cruz Clash in Heated Senate Hearing on Immigration Policies.

Republican Senator Ted Cruz and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas engaged in a heated exchange during a Senate Judiciary hearing over border issues, with Cruz blaming Mayorkas for crimes against children and calling for his resignation. Mayorkas called Cruz's comments "revolting" and refused to address them. The two have sparred before, with Cruz previously calling Mayorkas the "largest human trafficker on Earth." Senator John Cornyn also pressed Mayorkas about fentanyl crossing the border, with Mayorkas stating that about 90% of fentanyl is brought in through ports of entry, a claim Cornyn disputed.
