President Donald Trump has vowed to tackle immigration on “day
one,” and that includes promising to close the southern border and
begin mass deportations almost immediately. So who better to
discuss the plausibility of those imminent plans than the man who
led immigration policy at the Department of Homeland Security for
the past four years, former Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas?
Kara sits down for an exit interview with Mayorkas to talk about
the backlash he faced, from both sides of the aisle, during a term
plagued by “Biden’s Border Crisis”; whether he feels responsible
for Trump’s election victory; his assessment of the threats posed
by foreign and domestic extremists; his thoughts on calls to break
up the mammoth DHS; and what he makes of his tapped successor,
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem. Plus: why he thinks banning
TikTok an imperative, if ultimately thankless, game of national
security whack-a-mole. Questions? Comments? Email us at
