For months, House Republicans have indicated they will move toward impeaching Mayorkas for his mishandling of the crisis at the southern border.
This from westernjournal.com.
Politico reported Friday:
The Department of Homeland Security has hired lawyers from a firm that previously represented House Democrats in the impeachment trial of then-President Donald Trump to protect the agency’s secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas.
According to Politico:
DHS signed a contract with Debevoise & Plimpton, a firm whose lawyers helped House
democratscommunists/globalists in 2020 with their case for impeaching Trump, to help Mayorkas as House Republicans move to impeach the secretary.
Several House Republicans, including Reps. Pat Fallon of Texas and Andy Biggs of Arizona, have filed articles of impeachment as the new majority took control of the House.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy also threatened Mayorkas in November with impeachment if he didn’t resign.
A DHS representative said in a statement, according to Politico:
The Department of Homeland Security has retained outside counsel to help ensure the department’s vital mission is not interrupted by the unprecedented, unjustified, and partisan impeachment efforts by some Members of Congress, who have already taken steps to initiate proceedings.
A DHS official also told the outlet:
We do not want this to distract the secretary or the department from the important homeland security, national security work that we do day to day,” “We are protecting the country from terrorist attacks by air, by sea. We are protecting the country from cybersecurity attacks. We are securing the borders.
Debevoise & Plimpton declined to comment.
Under Mayorkas’ tenure, DHS has overseen record surges in illegal immigration at the southern border.
DHS recorded over 2.3M migrant encounters in FY22.
In the meantime, within a broken system, we are doing everything that we can to increase its efficiency, to provide humanitarian relief when the law permits, and to also deliver an enforcement consequence when the law dictates.
People from around the world continue crossing illegally at the southern border. Here in the RGV, we’ve seen several Chinese nationals cross in recent days. CBP contact in Eagle Pass tells me they’ve seen 5 Chinese, 3 Yemeni, 4 from African countries in last two days. @FoxNews

Mayorkas added:
That is exactly what we are doing, and I will continue to do that with tremendous pride alongside the incredible workforce at DHS.
DHS did not respond to a request for comment.
Final thoughts: Mayorkas is lying at best, stupid and incompetent at worst.
The Trump administration had made great strides toward establishing border security. A completed border wall—if The Regime had not stopped the project—would have been the capstone to that security.
Needless to say, the Obiden Regime, with an indication of national suicide, put the screws to all of President Trump’s border security accomplishments.
