“Secretary Mayorkas’ CHNV parole plan is an illegal ploy used to hide the worsening border crisis from the American people,” he added. “The implementation of a program that allows normally inadmissible aliens to directly enter the United States for reasons other than vital public interest or urgent humanitarian reasons as defined by the Immigration and Nationality Act may be an impeachable offense. It has been proven.”

After more than 100 days of delinquency from DHS, the Committee issued a subpoena to DHS, at which time the requested documents and information were produced.
