House Of Representatives,Impeachment,DHS Secretary

The House of Representatives has voted to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for high crimes and misdemeanors. Mayorkas is accused of willfully refusing to comply with immigration laws and mishandling the crisis at America's borders. The Senate is urged to conduct a full impeachment trial and remove Mayorkas from office.

In February, the House of Representatives voted to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for high crimes and misdemeanors. We found that Secretary Mayorkas had willfully and systemically refused to comply with immigration laws and breached the public trust in his handling of the unprecedented crisis at America’s borders.

Prior to this vote, the House Committee on Homeland Security conducted a nearly year-long investigation into the crisis and produced a compelling body of evidence, rendering the House impeachment vote necessary. The seriousness of the charges should compel the Senate to perform its constitutional duty, conduct a full impeachment trial, convict Secretary Mayorkas, and ultimately remove him from office. Secretary Mayorkas has refused to comply with the law. He is bound by the Immigration and Nationality Act to detain inadmissible aliens arriving at the border
