Mayorkas defends Biden's immigration policies

Season 2025 Episode 14 | 8m 40s

The incoming president has promised mass deportations and is expected to issue a slew of related executive orders soon after being sworn in. Seeing those through will be up to the Department of Homeland Security. Amna Nawaz discussed more with outgoing Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
