House Blocks Impeachment of DHS Secretary Mayorkas

The House blocked a resolution to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border situation, instead referring the matter to the Homeland Security Committee. The resolution, introduced by GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, accused Mayorkas of engaging in conduct incompatible with U.S. laws. The House voted 209-201 in favor of sending the resolution to the committee, with eight Republicans joining Democrats. Mayorkas has faced threats of impeachment since the GOP gained control of the House, and the focus on him comes as the House faces a deadline to fund federal agencies and avert a government shutdown.

Republicans Call for Impeachment of DHS Secretary Mayorkas Over Controversial Border Policies

Republicans in Congress have released a report criticizing Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his "coldly calculated" border policies, accusing him of opening the U.S.-Mexico border and allowing criminals and fentanyl to enter the country. The report, part of an ongoing investigation by the Republican-led Homeland Security Committee, sets the stage for potential impeachment proceedings against Mayorkas. The report highlights the human cost of the border crisis and the effects on law enforcement, including the increase in fentanyl-related deaths and the overwhelming pressure faced by border agents. Republicans argue that Mayorkas' decision to open the border has had devastating consequences and are calling for accountability.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's Controversial Remarks Strike Again.

House Democrats attempted to strike Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's words from the record during a Homeland Security Committee hearing after she brought up allegations of Rep. Eric Swalwell's past relationship with a Chinese spy. Rep. Dan Goldman requested that Greene's comments be stricken from the record, but the motion was eventually tabled. Greene was later barred from speaking for violating rules against impugning a person's character. Swalwell's ties to the Chinese spy were first reported in 2020 and prompted House Republicans to draft a resolution to remove him from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, but the resolution was tabled by the Democrats.
