Incoming House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler blasted the Trump administration Wednesday for the recent deaths of two migrant children in government custody, placing the blame squarely on the White House and its policies.

The Trump administration has faced an avalanche of criticism in recent months over immigration policies that separated thousands of children from their parents who brought them illegally into the U.S. That criticism has grown recently in the wake of the deaths of two immigrant children in U.S. custody.

“This is inhuman, and it’s not precedented,” Nadler (D-N.Y.) said on “CBS This Morning,” referring to the suite of zero-tolerance policies the administration has imposed at the border. “It’s a deliberate creation of the Trump administration, which is trying to make things as miserable as possible. And if kids die, they’re apparently willing to have that.”

Nadler said the House Judiciary Committee will hold hearings and “subpoena witnesses and documents if necessary” on the issue. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who will lead the Senate Judiciary Committee, said this weekend that he will convene hearings as well.
