House Republicans walked two impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate on Tuesday, with the upper chamber expected to scrap a trial of President Biden’s top border official for failing to enforce immigration law and lying to Congress about the US border being “secure.”
House Homeland Security Committee chairman Mark Green (R-Tenn.), the lead manager of the impeachment, delivered the articles to the Senate in the afternoon, along with 10 other managers.
“The evidence is clear—Secretary Mayorkas should be tried by the Senate for high crimes and misdemeanors. Specifically, the House found that he willfully and systemically refused to comply with the laws passed by Congress, and breached the public trust,” Green said in a statement.
Rep. Michael Guest (R-MS), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Rep. Ben Cline (RV-VA) and their and fellow impeachment managers walk through the U.S. Capitol Rotunda while transmitting the articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate on April 16, 2024 in Washington, DC.
