During a House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Arizona mother Josephine Dunn blamed Mayorkas' border policy for the death of her daughter from a drug overdose. She called for military intervention at the border to stop drug trafficking. Another mother, Tammy Nobles, shared the tragic story of her daughter's murder by an illegal immigrant.
The two mothers testified at a hearing that advanced impeachment proceedings against Mayorkas, following the committee's investigation into his response to the crisis of illegal immigration at the southern border. After the hearing, all 18 GOP committee members issued a statement calling for Mayorkas' impeachment.
The Republican lawmakers accused Mayorkas of consistently disregarding laws, abusing his authority, and breaching the trust of Congress and the American people, resulting in an unprecedented border crisis that has cost American lives. The impeachment of Mayorkas is unlikely to pass the Senate due to the Democratic majority.
The House Homeland Security Committee has voiced widespread support for impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, following a hearing where mothers blamed the deaths of their daughters on the Biden appointee's policies. The mothers shared personal tragedies, and the Republican committee members issued a statement calling for Mayorkas' impeachment, accusing him of failing to fulfill his oath of office and contributing to an unprecedented border crisis.

Impeachment is necessary to send a message that failure to uphold the law will not be tolerated.

Impeaching Mayorkas will not solve the problems at the border.

The border crisis predates the Biden administration.

This is just a political stunt by the GOP to score points.

Blaming Mayorkas for individual tragedies is unfair and irrational.
