Back at the border. Just wrapped a wide-ranging exclusive @NBCNews interview with @SecMayorkas about domestic terror, family separations, tent facilities, family detention, deportations, Title 42 and more. Will have the first clip on @MSNBC at 11AM ET. Hope you’ll tune in. 
Yes, I cut my chin shaving.
On a potential criminal investigation of Trump officials as part of the Biden administration’s family separation reunification task force, @SecMayorkas: “Well, I-- I haven't excluded anything but what I'm focused on right now is reuniting the families.”
On building more tent or temporary facilities to house migrant children, @SecMayorkas: “We are building the capacity that we need to in order to address the needs of the children and to address the public health imperative for the American people.”
Read more about our conversation here, including @SecMayorkas’ response to my question about the Biden admin continuing to expel families to what advocates say is danger under Title 42. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
I asked @SecMayorkas about the future of family detention given President Biden's statements as a candidate.
He gave the strongest clue yet that President Biden's DHS may stop detaining migrant families.
"A detention facility is not where a family belongs."

On domestic violent extremism, @SecMayorkas told me he believes the threat currently facing the United States is "acute" and a "growing threat."
