Mayorkas must provide documents on illegal immigrants accused of heinous crimes: House subpoena

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was hit with a subpoena Friday before the House Judiciary Committee demanding he produce long-awaited records on nine immigrants suspected of sickening crimes, including the rape of a disabled teenager and the mob attack on two NYPD police officers.

DHS must turn over documents on accused criminals by 9 a.m. July 17, according to documents obtained exclusively by The Post.

“Your response to date, without due process, has been inadequate,” committee chairman Rep. Him Jordan (R-Ohio) wrote in the filing’s scathing cover letter.

Jordan accused Mayorkas of deliberately dragging his feet “for months” as the committee made repeated requests for information starting in October 2023.

“Accordingly, nine A cases prioritized by the Committee—in addition to the three A cases the Department is obligated to produce pursuant to the Committee’s December 8, 2023 subpoena—remain outstanding,” Jordan wrote, referring to a list of 20 priority cases delivered to Mayorkas’ agency on April 11.

The A files contain information about interactions between illegal immigrants and U.S. Customs and Border Patrol.

One of the remaining requests involves Cory Alvarez, a 26-year-old Haitian migrant who was arrested in March for allegedly raping a disabled teenage girl at a migrant shelter outside Boston.

Alvarez – released this week on a paltry $500 bond – entered the United States in June 2023 through President Biden's controversial parole program for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans (CHNV).

Jordan's committee is now seeking his “A file” as well as any other documents related to his immigration case.

“DHS's failure to produce these documents hampers the committee's ability to fulfill its constitutional oversight obligations,” Jordan insisted.

A lack of serious oversight, Jordan warned, leaves room for “vulnerabilities” that “violent criminal aliens” could exploit to enter the United States.

In addition to Alvarez, the committee is seeking records on six men related to the Jan. 27 assault of two NYPD officers in Times Square.

One of the six suspects, Jhoan Boada, 22, had already been “exonerated” in the case after an investigation revealed he had been misidentified.

The committee is also seeking information about Renzo Mendoza Montes, who was arrested in February for allegedly raping a teenage girl in Virginia, and Carlos Obed Yepez-Bedoya, who was on the terrorist watch list when he was arrested in Eagle Pass, Texas, in March.

DHS did not immediately respond to The Post's request for comment on the subpoena.

In February, the House voted 214-213 to pass two articles of impeachment against Mayorkas, accused of “deliberate and systemic failure to comply” with federal immigration law and lying to Congress about “security.” of the border.
