Republicans To Call DHS Sec. For Hearing On Release Of
Criminal Aliens

House Judiciary Committee Chairman
Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), one of the most important Republicans on the immigration
issue, expressed outrage about the Department
of Homeland Security releasing thousands of criminal aliens from detention.
Now he's planning to bring DHS Sec. Jeh
Johnson before his committee for answers.
The House Judiciary Committee
expecting to Johnson before the committee about the 36,007 criminal aliens ICE
released last year later this month, a committee aide told Breitbart News.
Monday, the Center for Immigration
Studies released a report detailing an internal ICE document which showed that
36,007 immigrants convicted of nearly 88,000 crimes were released back into the
United States
last year.
Following the release of the
leaked documents, Goodlatte and former Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith
(R-TX) issued a joint statement blasting the agency.
"Over a month ago, the House
Judiciary Committee requested that DHS provide information about criminal
aliens identified by federal authorities and released into our communities but
our questions have gone unanswered,” Goodlatte and Smith said Monday.
“This information is important to
inform Congress about the problem of criminal aliens so that we make the right
policy decisions moving forward,” they added. “The Committee plans to hold an
oversight hearing on DHS in the coming weeks and will expect Secretary Johnson
to come clean and provide the Committee with answers to our questions.”
On April 11, the House Judiciary
Committee sent a letter to DHS requesting a slew of information related to the
release of criminal immigrants back into the United States.
The Judiciary Committee staffer
added Wednesday that if the committee has not received a response from DHS to
its April letter requesting information about the administration’s release of
immigrants convicts of crimes before then members want Johnson to answer at the
hearing.
