House committee launches investigation into Biden admin's handling of border, cutting razor wire

The House Republican-led Judiciary Committee launched an investigation into whether the Biden administration had the authority to cut razor wire installed by Texas governments.

Since Biden took office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has encountered 6.3 million illegal immigrants along the southwest border, and DHS has release 2.9 million illegal immigrants into U.S. communities, the letter notes. The committee added that there were more than 1.7 million known "gotaways" that evaded Border Patrol and entered the country since Jan. 20, 2021.

The committee cited recent events in September, when in just five days, over 45,000 illegal immigrants were encountered along the border, with 4,000 occurring on Sept. 20 in Eagle Pass.
