[June 1, 2018 Letter to the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Kirstjen Neisen and Attorney General of the Department of Justice Jeff Sessions]
From the Letter: "We are disappointed that Secretary Nielsen's previously planned appearance for June 7, 2018 before the House Judiciary Committee has been cancelled, which compels us to write this letter seeking immediate information and a briefing by your agencies on the humanitarian crisis that is playing out along our Nation's border. The Administration's recent implementation of a 'zero tolerance' policy towards border crossers apprehended between ports of entry has resulted in the criminalization of asylum seekers and a drastic increase in family separation. As Members of the House Judiciary Committee, we take seriously our oversight responsibilities and believe that it is imperative that you immediately provide us with additional information about the impetus for, and the impact of, these new policies."

[June 28, 2018 Letter to the President of the U.S. Donald J. Trump]
From the Letter: "We have repeatedly expressed our disagreement with your Administration's decision to separate families at the Southern border. We remain opposed to any policy that separates children from their parents or legal guardians in order to deter future migrant flows. Such a policy is inhumane, cruel, and un-American. We have concerns not only with the policy itself, but with the chaos and confusion that this Administration displayed in its implementation. [...] The human cost of this incompetence is evidenced by the pandemonium in immigration detention centers across the country, as desperate parents and traumatized children attempt to locate each other with minimal success."

[February 14, 2018 Letter to the Chairman of the House Committee on the Judiciary Bob Goodlatte]
From the Letter: "We write to request a hearing to comprehensively examine the ongoing opioid epidemic. [...] On October 26, 2017, President Trump declared the opioid epidemic a Nationwide Public Health Emergency. At the time, you stated that 'the House Judiciary Committee will continue to review our nation's laws to determine if more resources are needed to address this crisis.' [...] It is long past due that the Committee held a hearing to examine these issues and how we can work in a bipartisan manner to consider comprehensive measures to combat the opioid epidemic. Additionally, we are concerned by the President's FY 2019 budget proposal, which recommends a massive 95-percent cut in funding for the Office of National Drug Control Policy, the agency that would coordinate federal, state and local efforts to combat the opioid epidemic."

[December 1, 2017 Letter to the Attorney General of the Department of Justice Jeff Sessions]
From the Letter: "After your recent appearance before the House Judiciary Committee, we remain deeply concerned about the security of our next federal elections. [...] The threat of foreign influence in our elections is real, present, and endangers the most basic notion of democratic process. We believe these facts are more than enough to put the whole government to work to secure the election process."

From the Letter: "We write to request that the Committee hold immediate hearings to examine vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure, threats posed to that infrastructure by foreign actors, and what steps the Trump Administration may or may not be taking to ensure the integrity of our state and federal elections. We believe the threat is urgent."

[June 21, 2017 Letter to the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Bob Goodlatte]
From the Letter: "The House Committee on the Judiciary has a responsibility to step in and do its job. We therefore write once again to request you schedule hearings to examine events that now extend well beyond any investigation into Russian influence--including the firing of FBI Director James Comey, allegations of obstruction of justice, and the inconsistent application of the Attorney General's recusal from these and related matters."

[February 1, 2017 Letter to the Secretary of Homeland Security of the Department of Homeland Security John F. Kelly]
From the Letter: "We write to strongly condemn the President's executive order issued January 27, 2017, titled 'Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States,' and the ensuing actions taken by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its agencies, in particular Customs and Border Protection (CBP), to implement the order, and to request an urgent briefing regarding the same. We hope you will urge the President to immediately rescind the Executive Order, which has created profound chaos and fear among refugees and immigrants who have been admitted to the United States, as well as their families. As a nation of immigrants that has been a refuge for people fleeing persecution from around the world, these actions are contrary to who we are as a nation."

From the Letter: "We are writing to request that the House Judiciary Committee conduct hearings on the operation of the Michigan Emergency Manager Law and its role in the tragedies concerning the poisoning of Flint's water and the dangerous deterioration of the Detroit Public Schools. Although other committees are reviewing these matters in certain respects, we believe our Committee has a critical responsibility to engage in oversight and review as well."

[November 1, 2017 Letter to the Chairman of the House Committee on the Judiciary Bob Goodlatte]
From the Letter: "In recent weeks, our citizens and, individually, Members of Congress have focused on and discussed various issues related to the scourge of firearms violence that plagues our country. However, this Committee has taken no action. Inaction, when there are issues that we must examine and steps Congress must take, is no longer an option. [...] In fact, when legislation weakening our laws on silencers and armor piercing ammunition was being prepared for floor consideration, this Committee waived jurisdiction, despite a request from the Ranking Member that it not do so."
