The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will allow two chief Border Patrol agents to testify at a congressional hearing on the U.S. border crisis, after initially trying to “muzzle” them, according to Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.).
In a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Comer highlighted how DHS leadership sought to prevent the chief agents from testifying at the Feb. 7 hearing, but later reversed its stance after Comer threatened to use subpoenas.
