House committee launches investigation into Biden admin’s handling of border, cutting razor wire

The House Republican-led Committee on the Judiciary launched an investigation into the Biden administration’s handling of the immigration crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border, including whether the president had the authority to cut razor wire installed by Texas authorities on the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass, Texas.

In a letter addressed to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the committee said the U.S. is experiencing “the worst illegal immigration crisis in our nation’s history,” blaming the actions taken by the Biden administration.

Since Biden took office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has encountered 6.3 million illegal immigrants along the southwest border, and DHS has release 2.9 million illegal immigrants into U.S. communities, the letter notes. The committee added that there were more than 1.7 million known “gotaways” that evaded Border Patrol and entered the country since Jan. 20, 2021.

The committee is asking for several things, including all documents and communications regarding the ingress and egress of foreign nationals en route to the U.S. before the influx on Sept. 20 in Eagle Pass, and all communications regarding the cutting, interfering with or removing of Concertina wire and fencing installed by state and local governments along the southern border.
