Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) brought a resolution to impeach Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Her resolution calls for his impeachment due to “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
The move follows two of Greene’s constituents being killed in a car accident involving the smuggling of illegal immigrants.
Today, two innocent Americans from Dalton, GA in Whitfield County, my district in Northwest Georgia, were murdered by a human smuggler with a vehicle full of illegal aliens.

This is unacceptable! Alejandro Mayorkas is derelict of his duty to secure our Southern border and my… https://t.co/LEaQtDqNQX
“Rather than adhering to an oath he took to defend and secure our country and uphold the Constitution when he was sworn in and Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas has engaged in a pattern of conduct that is incompatible with the laws of the United States,” the resolution reads.
“In his willful admittance of border crossers, terrorists, human traffickers, drugs, and other contraband,” the resolution adds. “Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas has failed to maintain operational control of the border, thereby violating the Secure Fence Act of 2006.”
“As Secretary of the Department of Homeland Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, has violated his oath to uphold this constitutional duty by allowing the invasion of approximately 10,000,000 illegals across our borders. The ongoing invasion at our southern border is a direct national security threat against the States and against the citizens therein. Secretary Mayorkas has willfully abandoned his duty to secure the border and protect States against invasion, thereby violating article IV, section 4 of the Constitution.”
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently testified that the crisis at the southern border is not a “disaster.”
Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) asked Mayorkas, “So the situation at the border, you’re saying, is not a disaster?”
Mayorkas responded, “That is correct.”
