Sen. Roger Marshall introduced a no-confidence resolution against Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas on Thursday, marking the first effort in the Senate to mirror impeachment efforts in the House.
The nine-page resolution claimed Mayorkas's supposed failures range from increased immigration, including the influx of approximately 15,000 Haitians near the Texas border, to an increase in drug trafficking and overdoses. The resolution also accuses Mayorkas of being dishonest to Congress regarding his handling of the border. He claimed he has maintained control of the border.
“The Secure Fence Act provides that operational control means that not a single individual crosses the border illegally. And it’s for that reason that prior secretaries and myself have said that under that definition, no administration has had operational control,” Mayorkas said.
