Speaking during his visit to Florida’s new “Alligator Alcatraz” detention facility, President Donald Trump said that he is considering arresting and prosecuting Biden Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for opening the border and flooding America with tens of millions of illegal aliens.
Those comments came as President Trump appeared alongside Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) and current Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at the new “Alligator Alcatraz” facility, which will house thousands of detained illegal aliens in the alligator-infested Everglades, for a post-tour press conference.
As he did so on Tuesday, July 1, The Blaze reporter Julio Rosas asked the president if Mayorkas would be arrested over his handling of the border, as many MAGA supporters want the Trump Administration to do. Rosas began, “I ran into former DHS Secretary Mayorkas and I asked him a couple questions about his disastrous handling of the border.”
Continuing, Rosas asked about a potential arrest, which he said commenters on his video wanted to see happen, given how horrible Mayorkas was in his handling of the border. He asked, “He didn’t like my questions, but the number one question that I heard from people responding to my video was, ‘Why hasn’t he been arrested yet?'”
The president, before sounding off on Mayorkas and the illegal immigration disaster inflicted upon America during his time in office, asked, “Was he given a pardon, Mayokas? Was he not?” Rosas, correctly, noted that Mayorkas was not one of those given a last-minute pardon, saying, “I don’t believe so.”
President Trump, taking it from there, sounded off on Mayorkas and noted that what he did wasn’t just inflicted via incomptence, but was rather the intentional opening of the border and flooding of America with illegal aliens. He said, “Well, I’d take a look at that one because what he did is it’s beyond incompetence. Something had to be done.”
Continuing, the president questioned whether Mayorkas was taking orders from someone above him to keep the border open, or if he was the one giving the orders and pushing the open border policy. He said, “Now, with that being said, he took orders from other people, and he was really doing the orders.”

Adding to that, the president noted that regardless of who was giving and taking orders, if Mayorkas doesn’t have a pardon, then an arrest could be incoming. He said, “And you could say he was very loyal to them because it must have been very hard for him to stand up and sit up and, you know, talk about what he allowed to happen to this country and be serious about it. So he was given orders. If he wasn’t given a pardon, I could see looking at that.”
A bit later, when told that the House tried to impeach Mayorkas, but it went nowhere in the Senate, Trump noted, “He was impeached, but yeah, it was just a fake impeachment. It was a fake impeachment. But why don’t you take a look at it? I think he was so bad. They were all so bad, look, it was the worst president in the history of our country.”
