#shorts Reporter: I was just wondering if you could put some specifics on this plan. Let’s say Border Patrol catches 10,000 migrants tomorrow. Of those, how many are going to be detained? How many will be caught and released? And how many will be removed and returned within 72 hours?

MAYORKAS: So let me — let me share with you that we have already encountered 10,000 individuals in a single day. You know, so we already have proven that we can manage through that. We have surged resources — not just the Department of Homeland Security, but the Department of Justice in bringing immigration judges to work alongside asylum officers — to address the expedited removal process. We have surged the resources that we have, given the resources that we have been given by Congress, which is less than what we need and less than what we requested, to meet the challenge to the best of our abilities.

On 5/11/2023, at a White House press briefing, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas took questions for almost an hour from reporters on the occasion of the border with Mexico being overrun by migrants as the Title 42 exclusion rule is set to expire nationwide at midnight EDT Thursday.
