Article: The House Homeland Security Committee is moving forward with the impeachment process for U.S. Cabinet Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. In a hearing, Chairman Mark Green accused their Democrat colleagues of refusing to attend round table discussions on the border crisis, claiming they were burying their heads in the sand and ignoring the severity of the situation. Green emphasized the importance of their numerous hearings, where they heard from various witnesses including former senior DHS enforcement officials, state's attorneys general, and victims affected by Secretary Mayorkas' handling of the border crisis.
The Republican committee members have consistently faced criticism from Democrats, who dismissed their efforts as a waste of time. However, Green pointed out the devastating toll the crisis has taken, citing the deaths of 150,000 Americans due to fentanyl poisoning in 2021 and 2022 alone. He mentioned that their requests for information from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had been met with stonewalling and mockery from Democrats.
