Montana Rep. Matt Rosendale Leads Effort Against Sec. Mayorkas’s ICE Memorandums

Late last week, Representative Matt Rosendale (MT) led forty-four other Representatives who signed a letter sent to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas urging him to immediately rescind several of his orders which all but completely abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s and weaken their ability to effectively enforce America’s immigration laws; jeopardizing national security and public safety, say the Representatives.

According to a press release from Rep. Rosendale’s office:

The memoranda in question establish numerous sanctuary spaces for illegal aliens across the nation, halt worksite enforcement to prevent illegal aliens from working illegally in the United States, and severely restrict the criteria for which aliens can be apprehended and removed.

The Representatives’ letter states that “while not directly giving in to the radical Left’s calls to abolish ICE, by halting immigration enforcement actions conducted by the agency, it is clear DHS is seeking to abolish ICE from within.”

Congressman Rosendale explains in the letter to the DHS:

With more border encounters the past year than any year on record, it’s clear we’re past the point of this being a crisis. The Biden Administration’s efforts to dismantle President Trump’s successful immigration policies has led to an outright invasion at our southern border. Representative Rosendale said. These recent actions by Secretary Mayorkas will make the situation much worse. We cannot allow this administration to continue this transparent effort to in effect abolish ICE and protect all illegal aliens from deportation–putting the safety of our communities and our national security at risk. For the sake of our nation, Secretary Mayorkas must rescind these memoranda and resign, or face impeachment.

Of the forty-four other Representatives who joined Congressman Rosendale, several also made public statements against Secretary Mayorkas’s dangerous memorandums targeting and disempowering ICE. All of the following Representatives have received at least an “A” on NumbersUSA’s Immigration-Reduction Report Cards so far this Congress.

” – Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Texas-1)

” – Congressman Brian Babin (R-Texas-36)

” – Congressman Barry Moore (R-Ala.-2)

” – Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.-3)

” – Congressman Jody Hice (R-Ga.-10)

” – Congressman Bill Posey (R-Fla.-8)
