House subpoenas Mayorkas to turn over documents about illegal migrants accused of committing crimes

The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for documents about nine illegal migrants who have allegedly committed crimes against American citizens. 

Some specific instances requested include the alleged rape of a disabled girl and the assault of two police officers in New York City, according to documents obtained exclusively by the New York Post.

In the case involving the alleged rape of the disabled teenage girl, the suspect is a 26-year-old Haitian migrant who was arrested for the crime in March and recently released on $500 bail. He had entered the U.S. last year as part of President Biden's parole program specifically for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans.  

The documents on the accused criminals must be handed over by the Department of Homeland Security by July 17.

“Your response, to date, without compulsory process has been inadequate,” Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, wrote in a letter sent to Mayorkas. 

Some of the documents being requested have information about interactions between illegal migrants and Border Patrol agents.

“DHS’s failure to produce these materials hinders the Committee’s ability to fulfill its constitutional oversight obligations,” Jordan stated.

Jordan said that DHS has been dragging its feet for months on getting Congress this crucial information.
