House Judiciary subpoenas Mayorkas over removal of border wire in Texas

Published February 29, 2024 3:55pm ET



The House Judiciary Committee issued a subpoena against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for information regarding the Biden administration’s partial removal of razor wire along the southern border over the last few months.

The committee subpoenaed the top border official on Thursday, requesting access to all documents and communications related to the surge of illegal immigration, specifically in Eagle Pass, Texas, which has become one of the busiest locations to enter the United States. The request falls on the same day Mayorkas and President Joe Biden are set to visit the southern border amid record-high crossings.
