House Oversight Cmte. votes to subpoena DOJ, DHS and HHS for documents related to family separation policy.

, the first issued in the new Congress as Democrats have promised to hold the administration aggressively to count.

The committee's chairman, Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, has pledged to press the administration for documents and testimony on a wide swath of issues, but family separation was among his first priorities. Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the committee's ranking Republican, sent Cummings a letter arguing that the subpoenas would not be necessary, and that the administration had produced hundreds of pages of documents in response to earlier requests for information.

Dimocrats care more about protecting Illegal Aliens than they do about protecting the lives of full term babies.

Why didnt the Congress do this when President Obama was in office? His administration also separated families of illegal aliens. Double standards for Obama Administration vs Trump Administration are glaring and numerous. Play nice children.

Good..

realDonaldTrump All wasting time instead of worry about American people&poor Middle Class. They are worried about people who learned how to sneak to America illegally&become entitle to all benefits,housings,schools, healthcare&American people get nothing.

How come they didn't do that when Obama was doing that and literally putting children in cages?

SecNielsen Good morning. You should’ve quit a long time ago.

How about PERMANENTSEPARATION Families left behind from crimes by Illegal aliens !

I knew they were screwing up when they hired guards for babies and not care givers. The only number lower than the number of immigrants crossing the southern border is the number of adults shanked by a baby.

LsharpDGMS Great news.

Republicans and trumpists claim the moral high ground when it comes to abortion ( murderously at times ) but they don't have the slightest compunction about physically taking children from their parents and making them orphans..

Very happy to see this - it’s long overdue.

They should call in Obama and ask him.

So are Sessions and Kelly being subpoenaed, too, since they are the de facto co-authors of this policy?

No responsible parents take their little children on a several thousand miles long journey among criminals and child traffickers. Democrats lure them to make this dangerous journey.

Stupid MSNBC. There is no family separation for families entering the country in a legal way.

Well then, you should also call Obama afmin officials to testify. And Bush administration officials. Maybe even Clinton admin officials.

“the number of children under age 18 apprehended crossing the border without a parent or legal guardian was about..... in 2017 around 40,000.” Federal immigration is not day care. Build the wall.

“family separations” is not how you spell kidnapping. Call this atrocity by its proper name.

Attorney Nick M Frisco & his partner Dr. Mark J Rand put my 5 years old daughter into two false and premeditated rape tests against me! Attorney Robert W Harold put me in jail 4 months without any jury trails! He got paid for one year! I want justice! Why are they above the laws.

And GymJim still isn't in jail? Why not!

What jimmy boy is thinking in that picture 😂😂
