House Committee Republicans Unanimously Support Mayorkas Impeachment

Republicans on the committee said in a statement:

After nearly a year of investigation and subsequent impeachment proceedings, and after exhausting all other options to hold Secretary Mayorkas accountable, Congress has exercised its constitutional obligation to hold Secretary Mayorkas accountable. It is absolutely clear to all of us, and to the American people, that this must be impeached. The Secretary has consistently and intentionally and systematically refused to abide by the laws passed by Congress, abused his authority, and repeatedly betrayed the trust of Congress and the American people. Secretary Mayorkas' failure to fulfill his oath of office resulted in a border crisis unprecedented in American history that claimed the lives of thousands of Mayorkas's fellow citizens.

The hearing was the second held by the committee as part of Mayorkas' formal impeachment investigation. The investigation comes after a year of investigation and multiple public hearings into the border crisis caused by the embattled Mayorcas.

Committee Said The investigation “conclusively establishes” that Mayorkas is responsible for the crisis.

A deliberate and systematic refusal to abide by the laws passed by Congress encouraged unprecedented levels of illegal immigration. He has abused his power by directing the department to implement policies that are contrary to federal law, abandoning viable enforcement efforts, and has repeatedly and intentionally overruled Congress about the consequences of his decisions and the realities of his operations. He has betrayed the trust of the American people by misleading them. on the border.
