Shortly after Republicans won control of the House last November, then-Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy called on Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas to resign. If he refused, the GOP leader threatened to investigate Mayorkas for his failure at the border and, if need be, open an impeachment inquiry.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced impeachment legislation earlier this year to remove the border official from office, but more recently, she has used her political firepower to call for the impeachment of Biden, whom she's dubbed the"criminal in chief." While no formal move has been made on the Mayorkas impeachment front, a source familiar told the Washington Examiner that members of the Homeland Security Committee are amid a five-step plan to impeach Mayorkas — although the status of those efforts is not entirely clear.
Rep. Jodey Arrington , chairman of the House Budget Committee, argued that even if the House managed to impeach Mayorkas, the move would do little to affect the Biden administration’s influence. So, he would prefer to go after the one in charge. “Multiple committees are dealing with multiple inquiries, and inquiries are not in and of itself an impeachment,” he said. “It's just an ability to get more information that the Biden administration is trying to block the American people from seeing.”“Speaker McCarthy said that if he became speaker, we would impeach Mayorkas,” Rep. Bob Good told the Washington Examiner. “Haven't heard anything about that since he became speaker.
“The impeachment of a sitting president and a secretary-level executive is a somber affair and should 100% stand on deep core principle,” Higgins said. “Biden should be impeached because he is a compromised president who has illegally received millions from corrupt foreign nationals, and Mayorkas should be impeached because he willfully and purposely violated the law and facilitated cartel trafficking of drugs and human beings into America.
