House Homeland Security Committee Democrats bail from Texas border crisis field hearing

Democratic members of the House Homeland Security Committee bailed from attending the first field hearing in Texas about the border crisis, just two days before.

"It’s deeply disappointing that the minority members of the Committee have chosen to bail on this week’s full committee field hearing in Texas, only after they invited and confirmed a minority witness for one of the panels," Green said. "The only message their absence sends is that they are uninterested in coming to the table to have a conversation about the devastation that this border crisis is having on Americans and their communities across the country." Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.

He added that the committee will continue to encourage Democratic colleagues to step out of the "DC echo chamber" to meet with Americans about the biggest issues they face.
