Alejandro Mayorkas will acknowledge the"horrifying" Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, according to his prepared testimony.
“If I should have the honor of being confirmed, I will do everything I can to ensure that the tragic loss of life, the assault on law enforcement, the desecration of the building that stands as one of the three pillars of our democracy, and the terror felt by you, your colleagues, staff, and everyone present, will not happen again,” Mayorkas, 61, will tell senators in his opening statement.
Mayorkas plans to acknowledge the “horrifying” nature of the Jan. 6 attack and note that there remains much to be learned about the full extent of the violent attack. He will also draw on his experience as an immigrant fleeing a communist country as he seeks to lead a department of more than a quarter-million employees.

The policy was pushed by Trump and his first attorney general, Jeff Sessions, in particular.
