The House of Representatives has impeached DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas by one vote.
214-213.
Three Republicans voted no. It helped that Majority Leader Steve Scalise is back after cancer treatment.
Great news! He is in remission!!
The same three Republicans voted no:
1. Mike Gallagher (R-WI)
2. Tom McClintock (R-CA)
3. Ken Buck (R-CO)
Remember, Rep. Blake Moore voted no last time for procedural reasons.
The trial will start later this month, according to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer:
The office of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Mayorkas’ impeachment trial will begin later this month.”The House impeachment managers will present the articles of impeachment to the Senate following the state work period,” Schumer’s office said in a statement. “Senators will be sworn in as jurors in the trial the next day. Senate President Pro Tempore Patty Murray will preside.”
The Republicans claim:
Throughout his tenure as Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas has repeatedly violated laws enacted by Congress regarding immigration and border security. In large part because of his unlawful conduct, millions of aliens have illegally entered the United States on an annual basis with many unlawfully remaining in the United States. His refusal to obey the law is not only an offense against the separation of powers in the Constitution of the United States, it also threatens our national security and has had a dire impact on communities across the country. Despite clear evidence that his willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law has significantly contributed to unprecedented levels of illegal entrants, the increased control of the Southwest border by drug cartels, and the imposition of enormous costs on States and localities affected by the influx of aliens, Alejandro N. Mayorkas has continued in his refusal to comply with the law, and thereby acted to the grave detriment of the interests of the United States.
