“We've got 300,000 kids that we don't know where they are.”

WASHINGTON, DC - On Wednesday, Representative Chip Roy (TX-21) joined KLBJ radio where he discussed his demand for the Biden administrationto preserve all records and evidence related to hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied alien children who have gone missing on its watch.

Key quotes from the interview are below and the interview clip is available here:

• "Well, this is one of the great you know tragedies of the abuse of the law by the Biden-Harris-Mayorkas regime. We've got 300,000 kids that we don't know where they are."
  
  
• "We need to seek truth wherever it may lead. And if these folks were violating the law, they knew it and people died as a result, then there need to be consequences."
  
  
• "So we need to figure out who's to blame. We need to hold them accountable - criminal charges where it's appropriate. And I think, I think that's part of the preservation record request so we can identify, how did you do this? How did this happen?"
  
  
• "We need a Department of Justice that is, you know, actually focusing on the right things, instead of putting grandmothers in jail for exercising their free speech rights and their religious liberty rights to protest abortion clinics."

• "Remember [Secretary Mayorkas] lied about the whipping of the Haitians by the Border Patrol agents… He lied to me under oath in the judiciary committee. So, we need to seek truth wherever it may lead. And if these folks were violating the law, they knew it and people died as a result, then there need to be consequences."
