Some top Democrats have said the GOP should be focusing on avoiding a potential government shutdown ahead of Saturday's budget deadline.
A group of House Republicans was meeting in Chicago on Tuesday to talk about violent crime, but some critics have called it a political stunt as Congress faces a Saturday deadline to avoid a federal government shutdown.
An announcement about the hearing said it will focus on how Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx's"pro-crime and anti-victim policies are leading to an increase in violent crime and a dangerous community for Chicago residents." Foxx's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but some top Democrats have blasted Jordan for holding a forum on crime in Chicago, rather than focusing on avoiding a potential government shutdown, as House Republicans have been unable to agree among themselves on how to fund the federal government ahead of Saturday's deadline.
