The Western States Sheriffs’ Association has issued a declaration of “no confidence” in Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, saying he’s led a Biden team that has turned the southern border into “an invisible line in the sand.”
The sheriffs, who represent 17 states, called on President Biden to oust Mr. Mayorkas and find a new department chief who will work with them to restore respect for the border and immigration law.
They pointed to a surge of people and, more acutely, of drugs pouring across the border in recent months and reaching deeper into America’s interior, bringing the impact of border chaos straight to their communities.
