House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan Subpoenas DHS Secretary Mayorkas After ‘Woefully Inadequate’ Response
“Your response without compulsory process has, to date, been woefully inadequate,” Jordan indicated at the start of his cover letter.

Under the Biden administration there have been record high border crossings, with people coming over admitting that they decided to do so as a result of President Joe Biden taking office. It was also revealed by Mayorkas during a hearing on October 31 that this was also the second consecutive year of surpassing 600,000 “got-aways.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., also noted the timing.
“Timely given Hunter is supposed to show up to our committee this week to be deposed. Of course the DOJ would have never charged him without the IRS whistleblower’s courageous testimonies, but the DOJ left off FARA charges. The income came from foreign countries and we have proof,” she posted to X.
