Jim Jordan Subpoenas HHS for Unaccompanied Minors' Case Files

The subpoena seeks to address concerns over the handling and placement of unaccompanied alien children by HHS amid accusations of mismanagement.

  • House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan has subpoenaed HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra for case files on unaccompanied minors charged with crimes in the U.S.
  • The subpoena is part of an oversight effort into HHS's handling of unaccompanied alien children and their placement with sponsors in the U.S.
  • HHS has been accused of mismanagement and failing to properly vet sponsors, leading to safety concerns for the children.
  • Critics argue that the subpoena is based on a false narrative and that HHS has already provided the requested documents, minus personally identifiable information.
  • The conflict highlights broader debates over immigration policy, child welfare, and the balance between transparency and privacy.
