House Committee on Homeland Security Chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.) subpoenaed Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra late last week for documents on the whereabouts of thousands of migrant children in the United States.

In a letter informing Becerra of the subpoena, Green wrote he previously requested documents in August on the “vetting, screening and monitoring” of unaccompanied children’s sponsors by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within HHS.

Since then, Green wrote, ORR has given the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) “unsatisfactory responses” to their inquiry.

Last week, HHS finally responded to DHS’s August request for documentation and sent the agency 717 pages of documents, 400 of which contained “nothing more than publicly available information,” according to Green’s letter.
