Democrats on the House oversight committee voted Tuesday to subpoena information related to separations of migrant children from parents at the U. S.-Mexico border.
Feb. 26 (UPI) — Democrats on the House oversight committee voted Tuesday to issue subpoenas for information related to separations of migrant children from parents at the U. S.-Mexico border.
The resolution authorizes committee chair Elijah Cummings to issue subpoenas to Attorney General William P. Barr, Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen and Secretary of Health and Human Service Alex Azar to secure records related to the “zero tolerance” policy the Trump administration announced last April.
The panel voted 25-11 Tuesday to adopt the resolution. Two Republicans, Reps. Justin Amash of Michigan and Chip Roy of Texas joined Democrats in voting for the resolution.
