Calls for the impeachment of Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas are intensifying within the House GOP, with several Republican representatives accusing him of failing to apply the law and breaching public trust. Representative Ciscomani expressed fervent support for Mayorkas' impeachment, citing a willful and intentional disregard for the law. Representative McCaul echoed this sentiment, stating that Mayorkas has continually breached the public's trust and compromised national safety. The House GOP is responding to American citizens who demand impeachment. Representative Green clarified that the impeachment efforts are not for maladministration but for breaking laws enacted by Congress and losing public trust. Meanwhile, Representative McClintock warned against such actions, suggesting that impeaching a cabinet secretary for carrying out presidential policy could be seen as a stunt that doesn't help. Representative Burgess highlighted an ongoing invasion at the southern border, accusing Mayorkas of violating his oath of office by not acting. Representative Roy pointed out that Mayorkas' actions have led to deaths of American citizens and migrants, emphasizing the crisis's scale. Representative McCaul and Representative Laurel Lee both accused Mayorkas of willfully refusing to uphold U.S. laws and violating his oath, while Representative Brecheen stressed that no one is above the rule of law.
