Congress members call for DOJ investigation

September 28, 2022

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has taken credit for relocating the migrants and refugees from San Antonio, Texas, and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has applauded the effort.
The letter was sent to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, according to a press release issued Friday.

Led by Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), Sylvia Garcia (D-Texas), Ted Lieu (D-Calif.), and Mondaire Jones (D-N.Y.), the letter refers to the investigation opened by the Bexar County Sheriff's office, and urges the DOJ to follow suit with a "thorough investigation," with the aim of "deliver[ing] accountability to those that violated the law."
