Republican members of the House Oversight Committee are demanding a field hearing in New Mexico on the border crisis
The letter argues that it is the Oversight Committee's "duty" to "provide oversight of the crises that face our country," specifically pointing to the how the border crisis could potentially exacerbate the COVID-19 pandemic. "We are unable to properly determine the infection status of those that have entered illegally and have been apprehended, let alone those those that have escaped," the letter reads. "What we do know is that a recent report indicates a 900 percent increase in the COVID-19 positive testing rate for illegal immigrants in custody in the Rio Grand Valley Sector for the first two weeks of July."More Related News
