The Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday pushed back against Republican calls for DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to resign or face impeachment when Republicans take the House early next year.
Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testifies before a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Capitol Hill on Nov. 15, 2022.
McCarthy’s comments mark some of the strongest from Republican leadership about Mayorkas, who has faced enormous criticism from lawmakers over thewhich has seen a historic wave of migration at the border. There were more than 1.7 million migrant encounters in fiscal year 2021 and more than 2.3 million in fiscal year 2022. Meanwhile, so far in fiscal year 2023, there were over 230,000 migrant encounters in October — the highest number for that month in years.
The DHS says that Mayorkas has no plans to resign, however, and that the administration inherited a broken and dismantled immigration system, which it has repeatedly said is Congress’ job to fix. In a statement Wednesday, the DHS again put the ball in Congress’ court.
