Secretary of Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas denied on Sunday that President Biden's immigration policy is equivalent to former President Trump's amid criticism of the White House for weighing policies some see as detrimental to migrants.
ABC's Jonathan Karl on "This Week" said the ACLU is "effectively" saying that Biden's current immigration policy is no different than the asylum bans under Trump amid a new lawsuit the organization filed last week. Mayorkas denied this assessment, saying that their current policy is not a ban.
"Absolutely incorrect. Disagree with every aspect of that statement. This is not an asylum ban," Mayorkas told Karl. "We have a humanitarian obligation as well as a matter of security to cut the ruthless smugglers out. That is a responsibility of government and we are doing that." |
