Former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tom Homan blasted Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas during a “Fox & Friends First” interview on Monday, arguing that Mayorkas is misleading Americans regarding the border crisis.

On Sunday, Mayorkas faced questions from “Fox News Sunday”  host Chris Wallace about the mass of Haitian migrants on the U.S.-Mexico border at Del Rio, Texas, that have dominated the latest headlines about the Biden administration’s illegal immigration debacle.

And one particular aspect of Mayorkas’ answers stood out to him: That many of the migrants are in “immigration court proceedings.”

“When you say 12,000 are in immigration proceedings, they are not,” Homan said.

“That’s what the secretary leads you to believe, but many of them were released on notice to report. On the notice to report, it clearly says at the bottom of the form, ‘You are not in immigration proceedings. You will not be detained. ICE will not detain you for humanitarian reasons. You are released.’

“So, they’re only going to be in immigration proceedings if they chose to voluntarily show up and turn themselves in, which most won’t. So the secretary is misleading on what he told Chris Wallace,” he added.

Homan also disputed claims that many Haitian migrants had returned to Mexico.

According to The Washington Times, Mayorkas’ DHS estimated on Friday that 8,000 Haitians had gone voluntarily back to Mexico.

“[Mayorkas] realizes they went one or two miles down the line and came into the United States because they surged so many resources to Del Rio that they left 224 miles of border unguarded,” Homan said.

“So those 8,000 didn’t just go to Mexico and they’re going to live there. They went down to cross illegally. Those a8,000 are now in the United States, you know, living here illegally,” he added.

The Biden administration has reported about 2,000 Haitians have been deported.

Approximately 30,000 Haitian migrants crossed at Del Rio in September, according to NPR.

Earlier in September, Sen. Ted Cruz visited Del Rio when more than 10,000 migrants were awaiting processing and called the situation a “manmade disaster” due to President Joe Biden’s political decisions.

“Being briefed by @CBP on the escalating #BidenBorderCrisis while yards away from over 10,000 illegal aliens,” the Texas Republican tweeted.

“This is a manmade disaster. And it is a direct result of Joe Biden’s political decisions,” Cruz said.

“Joe Biden’s policies are encouraging this staggering rush of illegal aliens,” the senator said on Twitter.

Joe Biden’s policies are encouraging this staggering rush of illegal aliens:

208,887 encountered in August including 103,129 single adults (up 134% from 2020), 18,847 unaccompanied children (up 507% from 2020), & 86,487 individuals in a family unit (up 3,086% from 2020).
