(Fox) Republican Rep. Jim Jordan was cut off and left seemingly stunned while grilling Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on whether 42 illegal immigrants on the terror watch list have been released into the United States.
“Forty-two illegal immigrants were encountered at our border are on the terrorist and no-fly list. Are any of them still in our country?” House Judiciary Committee ranking member Jordan asked Mayorkas Thursday during a Capitol hearing.
Jordan was then informed that his time has expired, but the Ohio Republican continued pressing Mayorkas to respond.
“This is an important question for this committee,” Jordan continued.
“Congressman, I will deliver to you a response with respect …” Mayorkas said while Jordan kept pressing him. Mayorkas added that “some of them may still be in detention.”
