"These aren't the worst of the worst," she said.

"I was a federal prosecutor for many years, counterterrorism. You have to prioritize, right?" McCaul said. "I would prioritize the aggravated felons that [Biden DHS Secretary Alejandro] Mayorkas let in, in defiance of federal law. It was 'shall detain.' He said, 'may detain,' and let them out into the streets. I would prioritize that first."

The border is just about secure, McFaul said, pointing to the end of "catch and release" with the return of Trump to power.
