A Democrat objects after the chair of the House Homeland Security Committee swears in Homeland Security Deputy Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas before his testimony.

“I think Harry Reid’s getting out of town ahead of the posse,” former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova tells Breitbart News. The Senate Minority Leader says he’ll retire in 2017, at the conclusion of his current term.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) wants to make sure the Department of Homeland Security holds its Deputy Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas accountable for actions he took while director of USCIS. Specifically, granting EB-5 visa benefits to Democratically connected foreign investors.

Visas for sale? Through a brazen intervention, Sen. Harry Reid ultimately forced the Department of Homeland Security to bend to his will in a way that benefited his political allies and family. Here’s how he did it.

Cause of Action, a nonprofit, government oversight group, is calling on the Department of Justice to “immediately investigate” Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), Governor Terry McAuliffe (D-VA), and Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas “for their participation in unlawful political activity, possible coercion and fraud related to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program.”

After a DHS Inspector General report which uncovered political favoritism in the processing of EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program visas by Deputy Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, Republican lawmakers want Mayorkas held accountable.

A high ranking Department of Homeland Security official exerted improper influence on the granting of immigration benefits for politically connected individuals, according to a new government report.
