From Fox News: Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and other top officials dealing with the crisis at the southern border are worth millions, according to a database collecting federal forms — leading a top Trump ally to accuse them of inflicting mass migration on regular Americans while avoiding the consequences.
“Inside Biden’s Basement,” which lists the OGE Form 278e of government employees showing financial worth, is an organization stemming from the Transparency Action Fund, a 501(c)4.
According to the database, Mayorkas’ estimated net worth is between $3.8 million to $9 million.
Previous reporting identified his worth at around $8 million. Mayorkas’ finances, specifically his salary, came into focus this year when Republicans voted to block his salary.
In June, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) had authored the amendment to the DHS appropriations bill for fiscal 2025 that would prevent funding allocated in the legislation from being used to pay Mayorkas’ salary.
However, the bill was not expected to be taken up by the Senate, and the White House had vowed to veto it if it ever made it to Joe Biden’s desk.
The Fox News report lists other immigration officials whose net worth is significant:
- Royce Bernstein Murray, assistant secretary for Border and Immigration Policy, has an estimated net worth of $1.7 million to $6.8 million.
- Michelle Brane, the immigration detention ombudsman and who previously served as executive director for the department’s Family Reunification Task Force, has an estimated net worth of $1.4 million to $3.3 million.
