Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee are set to hold a field hearing on border security next week in California, looking to spotlight the issue in the home state of the new Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris.
The Sept. 6 hearing is titled, “The Biden-Harris Border Crisis: California Perspectives,” and will be held in Santee, Calif., east of San Diego. The committee said in a media advisory that witnesses will be announced “at a later date.”
The panel is chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), a top congressional ally of Harris’s Republican opponent in the November election, former president Donald Trump.
Harris has leaned into her background as California’s attorney general while responding to GOP attacks on her record on border security.
“I’m the only person in this race who actually served a border state as attorney general to enforce our laws,” Harris said Thursday in a CNN interview. “And I would enforce our laws as president going forward. I recognize the problem.”
