Two House Republicans have asked the Department of Justice to look into accusations that the American Red Cross is distributing packs with maps and other resources to migrants attempting to enter the United States through the southern border.

“Like many Americans, we were shocked but not surprised by recent news reports that the American Red Cross is producing what appear to be ‘how to’ manuals for migrants seeking to illegally enter the United States,” Reps. Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.) and Lance Gooden (R-Texas) said in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland (pdf).
