“Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has repeatedly claimed that illegal immigrants whose asylum claims fail will be removed “promptly” from the United States – but former Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials are pushing back, saying that there is little chance of that happening given the mass release of illegal immigrants into the U.S. and the current policies of the administration.

“If they’re on the border, and they don’t claim asylum they can be removed right there, but if they claim asylum, and they are released into the United States, they are not promptly removed,” former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Thomas Homan told Fox News Digital in an interview this month.

In media appearances and in front of multiple congressional hearings, Mayorkas has repeated his claims about what happens to migrants at the southern border.”
