Two House Republicans are demanding documents related to reporting that President Joe Biden's transition team was warned by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials about the possible consequences of reversing his predecessors immigration policies.
Representatives Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Tom McClintock (R-Calif.) accused the new administration of refusing to "accept responsibility for the growing humanitarian and security crisis."
"This refusal to accept responsibility is startling in light of a news report that suggests the Biden Administration was warned that reversing President Trump's successful immigration policies would lead to a surge at the border,"
The report referenced, published by NPR, featured former acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf stating that career agency officials stressed problems would arise at the U.S.-Mexico border if the new administration removed immigration policies such as "Remain in Mexico" and other asylum measures. The concerns were allegedly raised during multiple briefings the department held with Biden's transition team.
