A Texas Republican has started the process to impeach the secretary of Homeland Security over border security

U.S. Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Sherman, has filed articles of impeachment against U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

The resolution accuses Mayorkas of not “maintaining operational control” over the U.S. border. Fallon cites the secretary’s attempt to eliminate Title 42, ending the Migrant Protection Protocols and terminating contracts for additional border wall construction.

The articles of impeachment came in late Monday but were originally filed Jan. 3. They were delayed because of the prolonged House speaker vote.
