The impeachment of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has sparked a heated debate among lawmakers. Senator Mike Lee and other Republicans, including Rep. Dale Strong and Senator Rick Scott, accuse Mayorkas of abusing his parole powers and intentionally disregarding laws passed by Congress, calling it an affront to the Constitution and the rule of law. They argue that his actions, particularly his mass parole agenda, are impeachable offenses. The House has already impeached Mayorkas, citing failures in handling Biden's open border policies that allegedly allowed dangerous individuals into the country. However, attempts to move forward with a full Senate trial are being blocked by Majority Leader Schumer and other Democrats, who are accused of trying to dismiss the impeachment charges without holding a trial. This has led to criticism from several Republicans, including Senator Rick Scott, who demands the Senate to do its job, and Senator Marsha Blackburn, who insists on letting the facts come out through a trial. Meanwhile, Senator Susan Collins has stated it would be inappropriate to discuss her stance on a motion to dismiss the impeachment.
.@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
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.
.@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
If the Senate needs evidence of Mayorkas’ impeachable offenses, look no further than his abuse of parole. https://t.co/MYhZ35FuMc @HomelandGOP
