The House Judiciary Committee has issued a subpoena to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to disclose details about when and how certain illegal immigrants accused of crimes against Americans entered the United States.
Last weekend, the committee sent a subpoena to Mayorkas after the department repeatedly failed to turn over specific details, known as “A files,” about undocumented immigrants who have been arrested and charged with crimes over the past few years.
“Your response thus far has been inadequate, issued without any mandatory process,” Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) wrote in a subpoena cover letter. according to To New York Post.

Since October 2023, the committee has been requesting details of suspected illegal immigrant criminals, but Mayorkas has not provided any such information.
Recently, in April, the committee request A-files on numerous illegal immigrants accused of crimes, including six immigrant men who were charged with a mob attack on two New York Police Department (NYPD) officers but for whom Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) offered plea deals.
However, Mayorkas did not respond to the request.
Among the suspected illegal immigrant crimes for which the committee issued subpoenas to Mayorkas was the rape of a 15-year-old girl at the hands of a Haitian immigrant in Massachusetts in March.

The committee also is seeking details about an illegal Venezuelan immigrant who is accused of sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl in Campbell County, Virginia.
In each of the cases cited by the committee, the migrants involved either successfully crossed the U.S.-Mexico border or were apprehended but released onto U.S. soil as a result of President Joe Biden’s capture-and-release network.
