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. “We should not rush to compel documents from the departments, especially when they have sought to comply with your request voluntarily,” Jordan wrote.
If officials don’t comply, the committee and eventually the full House could vote to hold the department in contempt, setting up a potentially lengthy court battle.
