Excerpts from the letter:
“These subpoenas are an unnecessary and abusive tactic to use against an Executive Department that has already reached your desired policy outcome. DHS informed the Committee weeks ago that it would resume ‘its consideration of non-military deferred action requests on a discretionary, case-by-case basis, except as otherwise required by an applicable statute, regulation, or court order.’ You yourself subsequently acknowledged and applauded this decision in a press release.”
“However, despite this action by the agency, you have eschewed any cooperative posture with the Department and chosen confrontation. Continuing to threaten Department officials with compulsory process serves no legitimate oversight purpose. Similarly, such behavior may undermine any future Committee efforts to conduct responsible and credible oversight. Your decision to continue to engage in confrontational behavior with DHS suggests that your intent is not the furtherance of a legitimate oversight effort, but rather purely partisan theater and the continuation of your pattern of attacks on the Trump Administration.”

Who is surprised that the crooked bullying Democrats violated an agreement and changed the rules.
Cummings is a democrat and this is what their leadership does. I invite all Blue Dog Democrats to think about what their party is doing to America and seriously consider leaving that party. Join the Working Class Party.
CUMMINGS IS ANOTHER BALTIMORE DEMOCRAT THUG JUST LIKE PELOSI.
The only Democrat I will ever vote for is the one running against the 2 faced HOGAN.
If Trump was smart he would get some of his Federal LEO's to find a reason to legally arrest that POS. Nancy, Maxine and Chuckie as well. Schiff as well.
Those law enforcement bosses work for the President and he should tell them to do their damn jobs of hit the unemployment line.
