Mayorkas testifies more than 389,000 migrant ‘gotaways’ at border

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified Thursday that there were more than 389,000 “gotaways” at the U.S.-Mexico border in Fiscal Year 2021.

The disclosed figure came during an intense back-and-forth between Mayorkas and Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., during his testimony at an oversight hearing before the House Judiciary Committee.

Spartz grilled Mayorkas for specific numbers, asking how many people have crossed the border “completely undetected.”

Mayorkas said in FY 2021 – October 2020 to September 2021 – there were 389,155 “gotaways,” which refers to migrants who were not apprehended or turned themselves in and those who got past border agents.

Multiple U.S. Customers and Border Protection sources have told Fox News that there have already been more than 300,000 known getaways in FY 2022, which began October 1, 2021. – READ MORE
