Democrats on the House Homeland Security Committee criticized Republicans’ impeachment effort against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as a “baseless sham,” arguing that “policy differences are not impeachable” in a new report.
“MAGA Republicans have wasted their opportunity to make progress on immigration and border security policy,” the report reads, attacking GOP lawmakers for entertaining impeaching Mayorkas instead of engaging “in a conversation about bipartisan legislation”
The report comes after House Republicans on Sunday unveiled two articles of impeachment against the secretary, accusing Mayorkas of a “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law” and a “breach of public trust.” House Republicans began formal impeachment proceedings earlier this month and were expected to move swiftly through the process.
