Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, wants the Departments of Homeland Security and State to turn over the immigration history of the suspected bomber in Monday’s attempted terror attack in New York City.

Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, sent letters to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen on Tuesday requesting the information, including whether the suspect, 27-year-old Akayed Ullah, was on any terrorist watch lists and whether he ever applied for any U.S. visas.
