The Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas will travel to Eagle Pass, Texas on Jan. 8, according to a press release from DHS.
Mayorkas is traveling “for an operational visit regarding ongoing Southwest Border enforcement efforts,” the statement said.
While here in Texas, Mayorkas will meet with Customs and Border Protection personnel and Border Patrol leaders privately and away from the press, according to the statement.
The visit comes as Mayorkas and other senior U.S. officials met with their Mexican counterparts this week to plan for how to reduce the number of illegal crossings along the United States southern border.
Further details of the trip will be announced later.
