- Last month, Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer sent a letter to Mayorkas stating the committee would be investigating the “Biden Administration’s creation of and failure to resolve the worst border crisis in American history.”
- Four Border Patrol agents overseeing southern border sectors have been called to testify: Chiefs Jason Owens, Gregory Bovino, Gloria Chavez and acting Chief Patricia McGurk-Daniel. Initially, two were cleared to testify by Mayorkas and two weren’t.
- Comer then threatened to use the “compulsory process” to require them to testify. By Jan. 31, Mayorkas agreed to all four testifying.
