Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas will be in the hot seat before a House panel on Wednesday morning.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan sent Mayorkas a letter on Tuesday outlining areas he should be prepared to discuss, including disclosing how many migrants were released into U.S. communities under the Biden Administration. 

The data Jordan wants Mayorkas to provide at the hearing includes the "total number of inadmissible aliens who have been encountered by CBP along the southwest border and (a) who were released into the United States, and who have remained in DHS detention and have not been released" since January 20, 2021.

Jordan also wants to know "the number and percentage" of those migrants who "claimed a fear of persecution for purposes of asylum and received a fear determination."
