Jim Jordan Subpoenas DHS Secretary Over Illegal Immigrants Charged with Serious Crimes

The House Judiciary Committee seeks records of over a dozen illegal immigrants released into the U.S., criticizing the Department of Homeland Security for inadequate responses.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan has subpoenaed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for records of illegal immigrants charged with serious crimes who have been released into the U.S.
The committee has requested information on more than a dozen illegal aliens charged with crimes including theft, assault, murder, and terrorism.
Border Patrol recorded over 2 million encounters with illegal immigrants in fiscal years 2022 and 2023, with 16,255 arrests of illegal aliens with criminal histories and outstanding warrants in fiscal year 2023.
Jordan has criticized Mayorkas and his agency for providing only partial responses to two of the 14 requested files on the illegal aliens.
The subpoena is part of an ongoing scrutiny of Mayorkas and the Biden administration's handling of the influx of immigrants.
