Kinney County, Texas Sheriff Brad Coe details the surge of illegal immigrants he's encountering ahead of his House testimony.said they would attend Wednesday morning's in-person field hearing at the southern border -- even going so far as to book their travel and call a witness -- before pulling out of the hearing earlier this week, a GOP spokesperson tells Fox News.
"Instead of a fact-finding mission to develop better border security and immigration policies, Republicans are traveling to the border to attack the Administration and try to score political points with their extreme rhetoric - despite having voted against the resources border personnel need," Ranking Member Bennie Thompson said in a statement.
But a spokesperson for the Republican majority on Wednesday said that, before that announcement, Democrats had said they would be in attendance, booked their travel and had even called their own minority witness who is still set to testify. That witness is Steven Cagan, assistant director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations .
