According to the first impeachment article set forth by House Republicans, Mayorkas “has willfully and systemically refused to comply with Federal immigration laws.” Republicans blame Mayorkas for allowing millions of people to enter the country illegally, “with many unlawfully remaining” in the U.S., according to the articles.
The second impeachment article accuses him of breaching the “public trust” and “knowingly” obstructing “lawful oversight of the Department of Homeland Security.” “Alejandro N. Mayorkas knowingly made false statements to Congress that the border is ‘secure,’ that the border is ‘no less secure than it was previously,’ that the border is ‘closed,’ and that DHS has ‘operational control’ of the border,” the second article of impeachment says.
