“The American people demand a secure border, an end to this crisis, and accountability for those responsible,” Speaker Johnson wrote.
House Speaker Mike Johnson sent a letter to Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer that the articles of impeachment of Department of Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas would be delivered on April 10.
The letter released by Punchbowl News stated, "As Speaker and impeachment managers of the U.S. House of Representatives, we write to inform you that we will present to you upon the Senate’s return, on April 10, 2024, the duly passed articles of impeachment regarding Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas."
Johnson added, "The constitutional grounds for Secretary Mayorkas’ conviction and removal from office are well-founded, and the historical record is clear. The Framers of our Constitution gave Congress this authority for scenarios where executive branch officials, who are responsible for executing the laws passed by Congress, flout the law substituting their own judgment for that of Congress."
The letter was signed by several GOP House members including Reps. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Clay Higgins (R-LA), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), and others.
Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), who is the chairman on the Committee on Homeland Security, signed alongside Johnson and other GOP House members. Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs Michael McCaul (R-TX) also signed in support.
