The House Oversight and Accountability Committee launched a probe Tuesday into Vice President Harris’s efforts on the border, asking an agency largely outside her portfolio to turn over documents about her work on immigration.
In sending the request, committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) is seeking to elevate an issue Republicans hope will help them at the polls in November.
Harris was tapped by President Biden to manage the administration’s root causes strategy, an initiative aimed at investing heavily in development and democracy building throughout Latin America in the hopes of curbing immigration flows to the U.S.
