The House Judiciary Committee has sent a subpoena for information about Vice President Kamala Harris’ actions as “border czar” amid concerns about unaccompanied migrant children.

House Speaker Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, called out Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra on Wednesday over accusations that the Biden administration has lost track of thousands of children who crossed the border without a parent or guardian.

“According to the Committee’s new estimate, ‘Blackcap’ Kamala Harris and HHS have LOST contact with over 145,000 unaccompanied alien minors after placing them with sponsors, including ILLEGAL ALIENS,” the Committee wrote on X. “We call on ‘Blackcap’ Harris and HHS to provide additional information on these UACs.”

According to a copy of the subpoena obtained by Fox News Digital, Jordan ordered Becerra to turn over documents “sufficient to demonstrate the number of unaccompanied alien children who HHS was unable to contact directly through safety and well-being calls following the release of such UAC to the sponsor.”

“(A)lthough HHS claims to be unaware of the information the Committee is seeking, HHS has been aware of the Committee’s specific request and subpoena for over six months and appears to have the relevant documents and information,” Jordan wrote. “Indeed, in discussions with Committee staff, HHS has confirmed that it understands the Committee’s requests.”

Instead of paying attention to these requests, Jordan alleged that HHS “has obstructed the Committee’s oversight for over a year, including by disingenuously framing the Committee’s request for data on UACs that failed to respond to safety and well-being requests as separate and distinct from the Committee’s request for the number of UACs that HHS was unable to contact.”

“In light of HHS’s continued obstruction and in order to facilitate the prompt release of the materials requested by the Committee, the Committee has no choice but to issue another subpoena to compel the release of information regarding the total number of UACs that did not respond to the Safety and Wellness Subpoena when issued to the sponsor,” the subpoena reads.

While the call is not aimed directly at Harris, Jordan’s actions are part of a broader effort by House Republicans to investigate the Democratic presidential candidate’s record as vice president under President Biden in the run-up to the November election.

Harris’ candidacy has renewed Republican Party attention on her role in combating the root causes of mass migration from Central and South America, a mission she was tasked with early in Biden’s term.

In addition to the letter and subpoena for Becerra, Jordan’s committee is planning two hearings on the “Biden-Harris border crisis” — a Friday committee hearing in Harris’ home state of California and another Tuesday in Washington.

HHS said it does not comment on ongoing litigation when contacted for a response. Fox News Digital also reached out to the vice president’s office for comment.
