Republicans Pushing To Impeach Alejandro Mayorkas Say They're 'Deporting' Him From His Job
HuffPost
Mayorkas is the first immigrant and the first Latino person to serve as secretary of homeland security.
House Republicans pushing for the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said they’re engaged in the effort of “deporting [him] from his position.”
The charged language about Mayorkas ― who emigrated from Cuba with his family when he was 1 year old and became a U.S. citizen ― appeared multiple times in an impeachment report from the House homeland security committee.
“This Committee, through these articles of impeachment, begins the process of deporting Secretary Mayorkas from his position on account of his failure to comply with his official duties, and thereby allow his position to be filled by someone willing to enforce the Nation’s immigration laws once again,” the report reads.
“I’m sorry, what?” White House spokesperson Ian Sams wrote on X, formerly Twitter, in response.
“These are not serious people,” read a post from the X account of the House judiciary committee’s Democrats.
