WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Pat Fallon of Texas filed articles of impeachment accusing the Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of shirking his duty to protect the border.
The twice-elected Republican’s resolution, filed late Monday, is the first formal effort to remove anyone in the Biden administration since the GOP took control of the House last week.
It was hardly a surprise. Republicans have long clamored for Mayorkas’ scalp, accusing him of failing badly in his responsibilities.
