DHS Secretary Mayorkas hit with new impeachment article over 'reckless abandonment' of border security
Arizona Republican accuses Biden secretary of 'reckless abandonment' of border security

By Adam Shaw | Fox News

   FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., is introducing a new impeachment article against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, accusing him of violaring his oath of office and failing to enforce U.S. immigration law.

The articles were first introduced by Biggs, who has repeatedly called for Mayorkas to be removed from his position, in 2021 and accuse Mayorkas of having" engaged in a pattern of conduct that is incompatible with his duties as an Officer of the United States."

Now, with a record 2.3 million encounters of migrants in FY 2022, and more than 251,000 in December alone -- and with Republicans having taken control of the House -- that impeachment push has been renewed.

"Secretary Mayorkas has failed to faithfully uphold his oath and has instead presided over a reckless abandonment of border security and immigration enforcement, at the expense of the Constitution and the security of the United States. Secretary Mayorkas has violated, and continues to violate, this oath by failing to maintain operational control of the border and releasing hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens into the interior of the United States."

It also accuses him of having failed to implement the 2006 Secure Fence Act which requires DHS to take actions to "achieve and maintain operational control" over the border.
