CNN’s Jake Tapper pressed Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas on whether the investigation into the U.S.’s treatment of migrants will be free from the influence of public opinion. Mayorkas appeared Sunday on State of the Union to face questions about the ongoing situation on the border and the treatment of Haitian asylum-seekers by Border Patrol agents. Tapper noted that President Joe Biden’s recently said that border agents will “pay” for their misconduct, while Mayorkas warned against prejudging the facts of the matter before it is fully investigated.
