Biden administration hits back at Republican attempts to kill compromise legislation intended to curb migrant arrivals at the southern border
Just what are Republicans accusing Alejandro Mayorkas of doing? Over the weekend, the announced their articles of impeachment against the homeland security chief, and the Guardian’s Richard Luscombe took a gander:
Republicans published two articles of impeachment against homeland security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Sunday, and plan to formally advance them on Tuesday towards a full House vote, despite two hearings failing to produce any evidence of his wrongdoing.
As homeland security secretary under President George W. Bush—and as a former federal judge, U.S. attorney and assistant attorney general—I can say with confidence that, for all the investigating that the House Committee on Homeland Security has done, they have failed to put forth evidence that meets the bar.
This is why Republicans aren’t seeking to hold Mr. Mayorkas to the Constitution’s “high crimes and misdemeanors” standard for impeachment. They make the unsupported argument that he is derelict in his duty.
