A reporter for the Daily Caller News Foundation on Wednesday described the experience of trying to question Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorcas about the border.
DCNF investigative reporter Jenny Tar ran into Mayorkas on a walk on Tuesday. Ms Mayorkas repeatedly ignored her questions about border conditions while asking for on-the-spot coverage of record numbers of immigrants allowed into the United States.

“I identified myself as a reporter for the Daily Caller News Foundation and simply asked about the border numbers that came up belatedly just an hour before meeting him. These figures show that while illegal immigration is declining, the Biden administration is implementing a historic plan to allow numbers that have never been seen before, allowing people to enter the ports of entry via the so-called CBP One, a phone app that basically gives people the chance to cross the border legally,” said Mr. Thah, a WMAL host. I told Mr. Vince Collanese of the person. Editorial director of the Daily Caller.
Over 1.78 million illegal immigrants encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border in 2023 according to While based on data released by CBP following 2,378,944 encounters in 2022 and 1,734,686 in 2021, Fox News report An additional 600,000 migrants fled the CBP in fiscal 2022. CBP report In June, 38,000 migrants passed through ports of entry using the CBP One app, up from 35,000 in May.

Tarr had a similar encounter with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, asking if he had a message for the people of East Palestine, Ohio, where evacuations and shelter-in-place orders were issued after a train laden with toxic chemicals derailed on February 3 and officials dealt with the chemical release. Before taking the picture, Buttigieg referenced Thail’s previous press statements.
“I’m on crutches now to prove myself right, but I didn’t really mean to go too far or hunt anyone down,” said Tha.
