The House has impeached Secretary Mayorkas over Biden's border policies, accusing him of allowing criminals in. Senators express varied stances on holding a trial, with some demanding accountability and others cautious about discussing their decisions. Senator Schumer faces criticism for considering dismissing the impeachment charges without a trial, prompting calls for upholding constitutional duty and ensuring the American people receive transparency and justice.
.@SenSchumer on possible motion to dismiss Sec. Mayorkas impeachment: "We're going to try to resolve this issue as quickly as impossible. Impeachment should never be used to settle policy disagreements." https://t.co/oFouY5tTwd
WATCH: @RepMichaelGuest urges Leader Schumer and Senate Democrats to hold a trial in the impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas, hear the evidence, and render a verdict. The Senate needs to do its job. The American people deserve accountability. https://t.co/vzlwMXw2ND
.@SenSchumer in 2019 during the first Trump impeachment: “We would do well to remember our constitutional duty to act as judges and jurors in a potential trial.” What about our constitutional duty to hold a trial for Secretary Mayorkas? https://t.co/7RfKMrI9Ym
.@SenSchumer wants to dismiss the trial for Secretary Mayorkas. I don’t think so. Let’s have a trial and let the facts come out. https://t.co/IQrkkvv2BX
.@kleavittnh: “Joe Biden’s decision to open the southern border has created an immigration, humanitarian, national security, economic—and a crime crisis in every single state and community across this country.” https://t.co/8uhphgKlaE
Leader @SenSchumer MUST hold the impeachment trial of @SecMayorkas. The crisis at the southern border is unacceptable and he must be held accountable. My letter below ⬇️ https://t.co/lePHHFMIgE
“This is about Mayorkas’ intentional disregard of the laws passed by Congress. It is an affront to the Constitution and the rule of law.” -@RepDaleStrong https://t.co/O4kVXdC3li
.@SenSchumer wants to dismiss the impeachment charges against Secretary Mayorkas. Never before has the Senate dismissed impeachment charges without holding a trial. The American people should be enraged.
“The American people want the border secure. Biden won’t do it. The democrats won’t do it at all, they vote against everything we try to put forward.” -@RepDLesko https://t.co/Ol9x60NAVa
.@SenTedCruz and @SenMikeLee hit the nail on the head on the Mayorkas impeachment.  On an issue of this magnitude, the American people deserve to hear the House’s case against the secretary.  Leader Schumer should not simply sweep it under the rug – to do so would be… https://t.co/mAw7NnpDwn
.@SenatorCollins on whether she'd support a motion to dismiss for Mayorkas impeachment: As a juror, “it would be inappropriate for me to talk about what I am or am not going to do.”
.@SecMayorkas did nothing as Biden’s open border policies let murderers & rapists in to attack Americans. The House impeached him & now Democrats are trying to block a Senate trial. I’ll be on the floor tonight demanding the Senate do its job. WATCH ⬇️ https://t.co/xVuhXoano1
.@JonTester noncommittal on whether he’d move to dismiss Mayorkas articles of impeachment: “I want to look at the papers that the House passed, see what the documents are, to see what kind of grounds they have for impeachment.”
.@RonnyJacksonTX: Biden “doesn’t want to shut down the border. This is all by design…[Biden] wants these migrants to come here…whether they think they’re gonna get them registered to vote, or they think it’s gonna affect the census…this is by design.” https://t.co/2jxM5qbyxP
If the Senate needs evidence of Mayorkas’ impeachable offenses, look no further than his abuse of parole. https://t.co/MYhZ35FuMc @HomelandGOP
Secretary Mayorkas' mass parole agenda is "an affront to the Constitution and the rule of law." @RepDaleStrong makes the case for the Senate to convict Secretary Mayorkas for his abuse of our immigration laws ⬇️ https://t.co/FZ2WGen217
