House Oversight Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) has fired off another subpoena to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, demanding records from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The subpoena comes after the GOP-led House impeached Mayorkas last month and is the third one sent to the DHS chief in recent months. In December, Jordan issued a subpoena demanding documents on “violent” illegal aliens and another in February about border security in Texas.
The Ohio Republican has also been seeking information on the illegal immigrant suspected of killing University of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, the Daily Wire reported.
“As a part of its oversight efforts, we conducted transcribed interviews with several Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials. During these transcribed interviews, the ICE witnesses were unable to answer certain questions about data, documents, and communications related to the Biden Administration’s immigration policies,” Jordan wrote in a cover letter accompanying his latest subpoena.
“On November 2, 2023, the Committee requested that the Department provide the information that the ICE witnesses could not provide during their transcribed interviews. To date, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has failed to fully comply with our requests,” the GOP lawmaker added.
