<p>Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marjorie-taylor-greene" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marjorie Taylor Greene</a> (R-GA) abandoned on Thursday her latest bid to force another House vote on impeaching Homeland Security Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alejandro-mayorkas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alejandro Mayorkas</a>, marking a turnaround for the congresswoman who only a day ago had threatened to &#8220;<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4333584-greene-impeaching-mayorkas-house-shelves-first-attempt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">keep reintroducing</a>&#8221; her resolution <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/house/mtg-reintroduces-motion-impeach-mayorkas-house-vote-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener">until it succeeded</a>.</p>
<p>In withdrawing the resolution she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mtg-serves-up-another-mayorkas-impeachment-resolution" target="_blank" rel="noopener">introduced on Wednesday</a> before it could be <a href="https://twitter.com/AndrewSolender/status/1730327988342784353" target="_blank" rel="noopener">considered</a> by the chamber, Greene — who often is referred to as &#8220;MTG&#8221; — claimed she had been &#8220;<a href="https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1730351640945779067">guaranteed</a>&#8221; that the House would be &#8220;moving forward&#8221; with impeaching Mayorkas through the Homeland Security Committee.</p>
<p>Greene told reporters she expects her articles of impeachment, which were previously referred to the Homeland Security Committee, to reach the House floor &#8220;very soon.&#8221; The congresswoman credited &#8220;good talks&#8221; with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green (R-TN), and other members of the panel in coming to that decision.</p>
<p>Eight Republicans <a href="https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1724226153794416723" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joined</a> with all voting Democrats earlier this month to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-deflects-mtgs-mayorkas-impeachment-resolution-to-committee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">approve a motion</a> that kicked Greene&#8217;s previous <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> resolution, which accused Mayorkas of &#8220;<a href="https://docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/20231113/greene-mayorkas-articles-of-impeachment.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">high crimes and misdemeanors</a>&#8221; over his failure to maintain border security, to the House Homeland Security Committee. The panel had already been investigating Mayorkas for <a href="https://homeland.house.gov/2023/06/08/chairman-green-announces-comprehensive-investigation-full-committee-hearing-to-examine-secretary-mayorkas-dereliction-of-duty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alleged dereliction of duty</a> in a probe that <a href="https://homeland.house.gov/2023/06/20/what-they-are-saying-homeland-republicans-launch-mayorkas-investigation-with-preliminary-report-full-committee-hearing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">could lead to</a> impeachment proceedings in the future.</p>
<p>Previously, Greene argued that sending her impeachment measure to the Homeland Security Committee would effectively &#8220;kill&#8221; her resolution, clashing with some of the GOP holdouts who indicated a desire to see Mayorkas impeached while stressing that they wanted to proceed in a way that was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/why-mtgs-impeachment-of-mayorkas-hit-a-regular-order-roadblock" target="_blank" rel="noopener">not rushed</a> and ensured a conviction in the Senate — a high bar at the moment as the upper chamber is controlled by the Democrats who are generally aligned with the White House.</p>
<p>One of the eight Republicans, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), released a <a href="https://issa.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-issa-recommend-impeachment-mayorkas-it-joe-biden-who-we-must-hold" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> on Thursday announcing that he was ready to vote to &#8220;recommend&#8221; that Mayorkas be impeached, claiming the investigation &#8220;has yielded ample and damning facts that the Secretary has not even attempted to correct or contradict – because he can’t.&#8221; Green, the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, also released a <a href="https://twitter.com/jordainc/status/1730392388093292690" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> that said the panel&#8217;s investigation is &#8220;nearing [its] conclusion, and will—as I’ve said all along—go where the facts lead us.&#8221;</p>
<p>In defending Mayorkas, the Department of Homeland Security has derided what a spokesperson called &#8220;reckless impeachment charades&#8221; by congressional Republicans. Asked in a recent <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2023-11-27/mayorkas-people-need-more-legal-pathways-to-us-video" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bloomberg interview</a> whether the impeachment effort has changed his strategy, <a href="https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1729327859531911420" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mayorkas shook his head and said</a>, &#8220;I am busy at work and incredibly proud to support and work alongside the 260,000 people at the Department of Homeland Security.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), the ranking member of the Homeland Security Committee, released a statement on Thursday claiming the about-face on Thursday &#8220;exposed&#8221; the impeachment effort as a &#8220;political stunt.&#8221; He also encouraged House Republicans to work with &#8220;congressional Democrats and the Biden Administration to fix our broken immigration system and provide DHS the resources it needs along the border now.”</p>
