Multiple Republican lawmakers and officials have criticized Secretary Mayorkas and the Biden administration for their handling of border security, with calls for impeachment trials and withdrawal of nominations. Allegations include failure to secure the border leading to trafficking and crime increases, controversial nominee Adeel Mangi facing opposition, and accusations of ties to radical groups. The Senate is set to commence an impeachment trial for Mayorkas, with concerns raised about national security and law enforcement implications.
"Just as with [Thurgood] Marshall, [Adeel] Mangi’s nomination has triggered an outpouring of opposition grounded in hate, this time on the basis of religion, not race," Gregory L. Diskant writes: https://t.co/sBLndIjt6s
Gregory Diskant, former Clerk to Thurgood Marshall and colleague of Adeel Mangi, hopes the U.S. Senate looks back on a vote for the 1st Muslim appellate court judge "with the same pride" it did Marshall's historic confirmation. #Velshi https://t.co/gLkp5cqkmV
Border security is ESSENTIAL to protecting national security. Joe Biden and Mayorkas are putting us all at risk when they refuse to secure the border.

"If he cares about the Constitution and ending the devastation caused by Biden's border catastrophe, Senator Schumer will quickly schedule a full public trial and hear the arguments put forth by our impeachment managers," Mr. Johnson said in a statement. https://t.co/U0rHudsOd6
House Speaker Mike Johnson, Louisiana Republican, has tried to put pressure on Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, to hold the Senate trial and hear arguments from the House's impeachment managers. https://t.co/U0rHudsOd6
Congress should not allow Secretary Mayorkas to continue to get away with his abuse of the CBP One app, which has already been used to allow nearly 500K otherwise-inadmissible aliens into the country. His actions are unlawful and unsustainable. https://t.co/fe34igWx27
The articles were passed by the House on Feb. 13, making Mr. Mayorkas the first sitting Cabinet secretary to be impeached. The first vote to impeach him failed, but the second passed by one vote. https://t.co/U0rHudsOd6

“Extreme MAGA Republicans are demanding a full impeachment trial in the Senate,” Mr. Jeffries, New York Democrat, wrote in an X post Thursday. “They want to continue the phony political stunt targeting the Homeland Security secretary.” https://t.co/U0rHudsOd6
Sec. Mayorkas has played an active role in peddling Joe Biden’s deliberate destruction of America’s borders. I look forward to holding a full impeachment trial in the Senate. https://t.co/X469F9doFr
Secretary Mayorkas refuses to enforce the immigration laws passed by Congress. He has done more damage to America than any other Cabinet Secretary in our nation’s history. Thank you @SpeakerJohnson for taking this crucial first step. Time for the Senate to convict. https://t.co/200wq06ahM
Rather than using the authority Congress has already given him, the President continues to allow the border crisis to rage on. Every day President Biden allows the border to remain open, Americans are needlessly put in danger.

President Biden’s open border policies have caused border crossings at our northern border to skyrocket. Every state is a border state under this failed administration.

The Senate cannot confirm Third Circuit Judge Adeel Mangi. Confirming him would be another stick in the eye to the brave men and women in law enforcement. 40,000 officers in Pennsylvania just gave a resounding thumbs down to Mangi’s nomination. https://t.co/3KXLEzWuT7
.@HouseGOP did our job, now Chuck Schumer must do his. The Senate must move forward with a trial to impeach Secretary Mayorkas for his dereliction duty. https://t.co/n3NWNShiIp
"As we have said previously, after the House impeachment managers present the articles of impeachment to the Senate, senators will be sworn in as jurors in the trial the next day,” Mr. Schumer’s office said. https://t.co/pauEsmtmim
Mr. Schumer, New York Democrat, is not expected to hold a full trial but rather briefly convene to dismiss the articles with a simple majority vote or refer them to a committee to effectively quash them. https://t.co/pauEsmtmim
Mr. Johnson, Louisiana Republican, said in a statement that if Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer "cares about the Constitution and ending the devastation caused by Biden’s border catastrophe," then he "will quickly schedule a full public trial and hear the arguments put…
The move will formally kick off the next step of the impeachment process against Mr. Mayorkas, who Republicans accuse of being derelict in his duty of securing the southern border. https://t.co/pauEsmtmim
It's unacceptable for Mayorkas and Biden to reward those that have illegally entered our country and completely unfair to those who worked hard to come here legally. This undermines Americans’ national security. @HouseGOP will not let this stand. I am doing my part as…
Thank you, @IAGovernor, for working to secure our border and protect our communities! God bless the Iowa National Guard and our Iowa State Patrol officers. https://t.co/iHLTst1s50
It’s long past time for the Biden Administration to withdraw the nomination of Adeel Mangi. Law enforcement officers across the country have been sounding the alarm on Mr. Mangi’s radical affiliations. I’m glad that members of nation’s largest police union have decided to back…
President Biden’s pick to be the first Muslim American appeals court judge Adeel A. Mangi is facing attacks for ties to groups representing Muslim law students and incarcerated individuals. The White House calls it a smear campaign. https://t.co/MH7ASpjimx

🧵 My statement on the Impeachment Process for Secretary Mayorkas: Secretary Mayorkas has failed in his responsibilities to secure our southwest border, leading to a true border and immigration crisis in our country.
Every state – including Iowa – is a border state. While Biden continues to dodge accountability, I met with Iowa law enforcement who are working to combat increased human trafficking, drugs, and crime in Iowa because of Biden’s open border. https://t.co/NTf53XC9yE
For more than three years, the Biden administration has overseen the worst border crisis in history. As I’ve said, the Senate should conduct an impeachment trial of Secretary Mayorkas and examine the full extent of this crisis in front of the American people. https://t.co/kOiNzthS32
As a direct result of the Biden Administration ripping up our border policies, every state has become a border state.
