Two vital Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reports were not given to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs (HSGAC) despite being required by law to do so, according to two Republican senators.

The 2020 Entry/Exit Overstay Report on visas held by foreign individuals residing in the United States has been published on the DHS web site for each of the past five years. But Senators James Lankford (R-Okla.) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) want to know why DHS did not do so for the 2020 report.
