The plan, which was rejected twice in the past year, was confirmed to be still in the works by President Donald Trump last week after its existence was first reported by The Washington Post.
Top Democrats in the House of Representatives on Monday sent a letter to the White House and the Department of Homeland Security demanding documents related to the Trump administration's plan to release detained immigrants in cities that shelter undocumented immigrants.
Now Democrats are seeking emails between the White House and DHS officials, as well as documents"discussing policy or legal justifications or implications" for the plan, according to the letter, which is signed by the chairs of the judiciary, oversight and homeland security committees. The congressmen are seeking documents between November 2018 and April 15, 2019, and gave the White House until May 3 to make them available. The letter was sent to Mick Mulvaney, the acting chief of staff, and Acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan.
