Conservatives have a healthy and well-deserved skepticism of self-proclaimed “fact-checkers,” but the Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler has done a great job exposing Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’s false claim that migrants who lose their asylum claims “are promptly removed from the United States.”

Skipping to the punch line, Kessler concludes that “more than 1 million people who entered the country without proper documents have been given deportation orders — and still have not left. Others have disappeared — a problem that may have gotten worse as tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants are released in the country each month.”
