The House Judiciary Committee has accused Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of refusing to comply with requests for files on illegal immigrants accused of serious crimes in the United States.

“DHS’s failure to provide the Committee with the requested documents is unacceptable and prevents the Committee from fulfilling its constitutional oversight obligations,” reads the Committee’s April 11 letter to Mr. Mayorkas.
