House Homeland GOP calls for Mayorkas written testimony; DHS slams ‘bad-faith’ impeachment push
Fox News
House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green is seeking written testimony from DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas ahead of an impeachment hearing on Thursday.
"As stated in earlier letters to you, your perspective on the crisis at the border and actions you have taken as secretary are valuable for the Members of the Committee and the American public to hear. Regretfully, every invitation for almost half a year we extended to you to testify focused specifically on the border crisis has been rejected or subject to endless delay tactics," Green said, requesting written testimony instead.

Republicans, who held the first hearing earlier this month, have accused Mayorkas of a "dereliction of duty" and a "willful violation of his oath" in his handling of the crisis at the southern border, where there have been record levels of migrant encounters. They have said that the expansion of "catch-and-release" and the rollback of Trump-era policies have fueled a historic crisis with devastating effects on the country.
