Thompson Statement on Extreme MAGA Republicans’ Baseless Subpoena to DHS in Absurd Impeachment Quest
(WASHINGTON) – Today, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, released the below statement on Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green subpoenaing the Department of Homeland Security for immigration data:
“It is absurd that extreme MAGA Republicans running our Committee have subpoenaed the Department while the Department has been working with them to get them what they need and has been producing and transmitting requested data. Not only is the Republican request outside the Committee’s legislative jurisdiction, the majority broke the Committee’s rules – which they, themselves, wrote – by not informing us accordingly. Their hypocrisy is showing – I have not forgotten when Democrats were forced to subpoena the Trump Administration after they completely ignored even our most basic requests, and Committee Republicans were silent. This subpoena is just another misstep in their baseless and politicized effort to impeach Secretary Mayorkas.”
