Several Republican lawmakers, including Rep. McClintock, Rep. Chip Roy, Rep. McCaul, Rep. Brecheen, and Rep. Mark Green, have called for the impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas, accusing him of ignoring laws related to immigration and breaching public trust. They argue that Mayorkas' actions have led to the death of American citizens and migrants. Despite a failed impeachment vote, Rep. MTG has indicated the possibility of bringing the Articles of Impeachment back to the floor. However, Rep. Jeffries has criticized the impeachment attempt, calling it a sham political stunt and emphasizing the need for common sense and less chaos in governance.
