A House Republican from Texas has filed articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, as Republicans ramp up oversight of the Biden administration’s border policies.
Rep. Pat Fallon, a second-term congressman whose district is near Dallas, filed the resolution Monday, after which it was referred to the Judiciary Committee, led by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.
California Republican Kevin McCarthy, now speaker of the House, used a November visit to the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas to call on Mayorkas to resign and warned that if he did not, House Republicans would “investigate” whether to start impeachment proceedings. Mayorkas has said he would not resign.
