GOP Files First Impeachment

As promised, the GOP is  getting straight to work.  The first shot has been fired.  Papers have been filed against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.  Republican Pat Fallon of Texas put his money where his mouth is.  This process has two steps.  First is to determine whether an official should be charged.  A trial is then conducted.  Senate Democrats would have to join forces with the House though.

The GOP will do what it can

Fallon put out a statement.

“Since day one, Secretary Mayorkas’ policies have undermined law enforcement activities at our southern border. From perjuring himself before Congress about maintaining operational control of the border to the infamous ‘whip-gate’ slander against our border patrol agents, Secretary Mayorkas has proven time and time again that he is unfit to lead the Department of Homeland Security. His willful actions have eroded our immigration system, undermined border patrol morale, and jeopardized American national security. He has violated the law, and it is time for him to go.”

Fox News shared a draft of what had been put together.  Article I charges Mayorkas with violating his oath by breaking the Secure the Fence Act.  This calls on the secretary to “maintain operational control over the entire international land and maritime borders of the United States.”

The GOP forging ahead 

The evidence for that first article said that since his leadership

“over 5,500,000 illegal aliens have crossed our southern border. Under Secretary Mayorkas, more fentanyl has crossed the border in the last 2 months than in all of fiscal year 2019 under President Trump’s leadership. In fiscal year 2022, over 14,000 pounds of poisonous fentanyl was seized at the southern border. Fentanyl overdoses are the number one cause of death for individuals ages 18 to 45 nationwide.”

Article II says Mayorkas lied to Congress.  He gave “perjurious, false, and misleading testimony to Congress” when he said the border was sound.  Article II continues,

“The record-breaking number of illegal alien encounters, including over 1,000,000 known ‘gotaways,’ as well as the record seizures of deadly fentanyl and other contraband, prove that Secretary Mayorkas has not ensured operational control of the southern border. Secretary Mayorkas clearly committed perjury on multiple occasions before Congress.”

The GOP has three articles

The third says Mayorkas “knowingly slandered his own hardworking Border Patrol agents and mislead the general public” when he spoke of border agents whipping people.  This charge said that a

“511-page report by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Personal Responsibility found ‘no evidence that [Border Patrol agents] involved in this incident struck, intentionally or otherwise, any migrant with their reins.’  Secretary Mayorkas slandered his own Border Patrol agents and TXDPS Troopers involved in this incident, contributing to a further decrease in already-low morale among agents.”

McCarthy promised last fall that members of the Biden administration would face this.  “If Secretary Mayorkas does not resign, House Republicans will investigate every order, every action and every failure and will determine whether we can begin impeachment inquiry,”
