Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas shrugged off attempts by House Republicans to impeach him, claiming it is all politics and that those attacking him simply don't know him. In an interview with The Associated Press, Mayorkas highlighted the lack of personal conversations between him and his detractors regarding his approach to his work, policy positions, and the enforcement of laws.

Despite facing impeachment, Mayorkas expressed complete focus on his agency's work and dismissed the distraction of the political maneuvering. He emphasized that his main concerns lie in addressing substantive challenges and supporting the needs of the workforce. Sleepless nights were attributed not to impeachment threats but to the pressing issues the department faces on a daily basis.
