Jordan signals ongoing probes into Garland, Mayorkas on border
House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) fired off letters Friday to Attorney General Merrick Garland and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, signaling his intention to continue investigations into the Biden administration’s handling of the border.
“This letter serves as a formal request to preserve all existing and future records and materials related to the Biden-Harris Administration’s enforcement of federal immigration law,” Jordan wrote in letters to each.
The Justice Department (DOJ) pushed back on any insinuation it does not plan to keep all records.
“This Justice Department follows the law, including our legal obligations regarding the preservation of records, and we will continue to do so,” a DOJ spokesperson told The Hill.
DHS did not immediately respond to request for comment.
