The chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee is issuing a subpoena to the Massachusetts Port Authority for documents requested last year regarding the sheltering of migrants at Boston Logan International Airport. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who heads the committee, is seeking information on the use of airport facilities to house migrants.
Last year, lawmakers raised concerns about the use of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant-funded facilities at Logan Airport for sheltering migrants, arguing that it violated grant conditions requiring facilities to be available for public use.
