House Republicans Accuse DHS Secretary Mayorkas of Refusing to Turn Over Files Related to Alleged Illegal Immigrant Criminals

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.

Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), along with subcommittee chairmen Tom McClintock (R-Calif.) and Ben Cline (R-Va.) recently sent a letter to Mr. Mayorkas renewing requests for documents, including the “A-Files,” for more than a dozen immigrants, Fox News reported.

The Committee said it had made multiple unfilled requests dating back to October 2023.

“The Committee previously wrote to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for various documents and information, including the production of alien files (A-Files) and related immigration case information for several alleged criminal illegal aliens,” the letter continues. “However, to date, DHS has failed to comply with the Committee’s requests.”
