Josh Hawley, R-Mo., lambasted Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in a Senate hearing Thursday, highlighting Americans killed as a direct result of the administration\u2019s open borders policies.  <\/p>\n<p>Hawley began by pressing Mayorkas about the case of Jose Ibarra, who was arrested in February and charged with felonies related to the murder of Laken Hope Riley.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know what he did?\u201d Hawley asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know what he\u2019s accused of doing,\u201d the secretary responded. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that wasn\u2019t the first crime that he committed in this country, was it?\u201d Hawley questioned. <\/p>\n<p>Mayorkas cited the ongoing criminal investigation related to Ibarra\u2019s alleged crime as his reason not to comment. Hawley went on to ask Mayorkas whether the Homeland Security secretary had read Ibarra\u2019s parole file. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do not want to speak to the particulars of the case,\u201d Mayorkas said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt looks like to me, you just don\u2019t want to answer the question,\u201d Hawley replied. The Missouri senator brought up the secretary\u2019s answers to the same question asked in a House hearing earlier this week. \u201cYou were asked the same question,\u201d Hawley said. \u201c\u2018Jose Ibarra, why was he paroled?\u2019 You said, \u2018I don\u2019t know!&#8217;\u201d After recounting the DHS chief\u2019s previous non-answers to lawmakers regarding the Ibarra case, Hawley outlined details from the suspect\u2019s parole file. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow we do have the parole file, and now we all know that the reason he was paroled into this country was because lack of detention capacity, which, as you and I both know, is not a valid reason under the statute,\u201d Hawley said. \u201cAnd now that we know that for sure \u2026 you don\u2019t want to talk about it. This is extraordinary. It\u2019s also a pattern with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hawley accused Mayorkas of lying to Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c-span.org\/video\/?534703-1\/senate-hearing-homeland-security-fiscal-year-2025-budget\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Katie Britt,<\/a> R-Ala., and Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RepDanBishop\/status\/1780268702421619096\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dan Bishop,<\/a> R-N.C., in earlier testimony this month when lawmakers asked why Ibarra was given parole.

Mayor: Congress must open a probe into security failures at U.S. Capitol\">federal law enforcement<\/a> to warrant detention and claimed this week in a House hearing that parole was applied legally. Hawley clarified the circumstances surrounding Ibarra\u2019s case with the Homeland Security secretary Thursday, however, emphasizing that Ibarra was paroled into the country because of lack of detention space, despite having a criminal arrest record. <\/p>\n<p>On Sept. 8, Hawley said, \u201c[Ibarra] was encountered by United States Border Patrol in El Paso, Texas, and was paroled into the United States due to lack of detention capacity. \u2026 You and I both know you know this. You knew it when you were talking to Congressman Bishop. You knew it when you were testifying to Sen.
