President Trump accuses officials who worked for former President Biden of treason for lax immigration enforcement, blaming them for allowing millions of migrants into the US. He suggests charging them with crimes. VP JD Vance also suggests policy was driven by staff, not Biden. Under Mayorkas's tenure, 8 million migrants were welcomed, and some were involved in killing Americans. Mayorkas opened a parole pipeline allowing over 1 million migrants with no ties to the US to enter via the southern border and commercial flights.
