The record numbers were released just ahead of the holiday weekend, which GOP Rep. Mark Green of Tennessee, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said was by design to limit the visibility of the crisis at the southern border.

Just after U.S. Customs and Border Protection released its latest southern border data on Friday, a prominent House Republican indicated his committee will soon consider Department of Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’s possible impeachment in the new year.

Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.) recently sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security asking for it to take data security and hacking attempts by America’s enemies more seriously.
