Elijah Cummings Accused Of Violating Bipartisan Agreement On Subpoenas By Republican Leaders

On Thursday, Elijah Cummings reportedly sent a memo declaring his plans to subpoena USCIS Director Ken Cuccinelli and ICE Director Matthew Albence to testify over the end of a policy that let illegal immigrants stay in the U.S. illegally while receiving life-saving medical treatment.

However, Republican leaders say that in issuing subpoenas, Cummings is violating a bipartisan agreement the two parties had because he did not consult the Republican minority before doing so.

Republican Reps. Jim Jordan and Chip Roy sent a letter to Cummings that said,

“If you proceed with this subpoena over our objections, you will once again violate our bipartisan agreement about subpoenas, trample on long-held minority rights in the House of Representatives, and prove the partisan nature of your inquiry.”
