Congressman Biggs: Biden’s Federal Departments Cannot Facilitate Abortions for Illegal Alien Minors

July 15, 2022

Today, Congressman Andy Biggs and 21 of his House colleagues sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra demanding that their departments cease transporting illegal alien minors across state lines to receive abortions.

"The Biden Administration is now savagely transporting alien minors in federal custody to receive abortions,” said Congressman Andy Biggs. “This outrageous use of federal resources to transport minors across state lines for abortions or otherwise providing or facilitating abortions in DHS or HHS custody is a heinous act and must be stopped.

“Secretary Mayorkas and Secretary Becerra must immediately cease this conduct and provide us a thorough explanation of why this callous practice began in the first place.”
