Congresswoman Gwen Moore Votes Against Sham Impeachment of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas

“I am once again voting ‘No’ on the politically motivated, baseless impeachment of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

This impeachment process has failed to show evidence that Secretary Mayorkas committed “high crimes and misdemeanors” or any impeachable offense, underscoring the inescapable conclusion that this is nothing more than a political stunt.  Some of my House Republican colleagues agree that there are no grounds to impeach Secretary Mayorkas, which is why this measure failed the first time.

Secretary Mayorkas is a devoted public servant who continues to work with the resources he has to address the humanitarian crisis at the border. This ongoing crisis makes it clear that Congress must act to provide meaningful immigration reform to give our executive branch, the Biden administration, the resources it needs. Many House Republicans refuse to work with Democrats and the Biden administration to advance immigration reform and have opposed funding to support CBP, including President Biden’s $13.6 billion border funding bill. It is also worth mentioning again that despite Speaker Johnson refusing to come to the table to work with Democrats, he opposed the Senate’s bipartisan immigration bill pared with foreign aid. Some House Republicans have openly said they refuse to support any immigration reform because they see these efforts as a political advantage for President Biden.

Today, MAGA House Republicans are doubling down on their extremism and putting partisan political games above the needs of the country.”
