Summary
- A conservative watchdog has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security to compel the release of communications between Vice President Kamala Harris’ office and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
- The lawsuit was prompted by a lack of compliance with a Freedom of Information Act request regarding the southwest border and illegal immigration.
- The suit seeks to shed light on Harris’ role as the “border czar” amid increasing scrutiny over her handling of the border crisis.
- Public interest in understanding Harris’ record ahead of elections is cited as a reason for expediting document releases.
