<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Republican Texas Rep. Pat Fallon filed articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/house-republican-files-articles-impeachment-dhs-sec-mayorkas">reported</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fallon introduced the articles of impeachment against Mayorkas in the House on Monday for &#8220;high crimes and misdemeanors,&#8221; known as House Resolution 8.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Since day one, Secretary Mayorkas’ policies have undermined law enforcement activities at our southern border,&#8221; Fallon said in a statement to Fox News last week. &#8220;From perjuring himself before Congress about maintaining operational control of the border to the infamous ‘whip-gate’ slander against our border patrol agents, Secretary Mayorkas has proven time and time again that he is unfit to lead the Department of Homeland Security.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;His willful actions have eroded our immigration system, undermined border patrol morale, and jeopardized American national security. He has violated the law and it is time for him to go,&#8221; Fallon added. </span></p>
<p>The move comes in the first week of Republican California Rep. Kevin McCarthy&#8217;s tenure as speaker of the House.</p>
<p>McCarthy said if Republicans took back control of the House that Mayorkas could potentially face impeachment over his handling of the migrant crisis at the southern border, which has seen a record-breaking number of illegal immigrants crossing into the United States from Mexico.</p>
<p>&#8220;If Secretary Mayorkas does not resign, House Republicans will investigate every order, every action and every failure and will determine whether we can begin impeachment inquiry,&#8221; McCarthy told Fox News in November.</p>
<p>The U.S. Border Patrol reported encounters with migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border in the 2021 fiscal year were more than quadruple the number of the prior fiscal year and the highest annual total on record, <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/11/09/whats-happening-at-the-u-s-mexico-border-in-7-charts/">according</a> to Pew Research.</p>
<p>The U.S. saw 2,378,944 encounters at the border in fiscal year 2022, excluding the nearly 600,000 known “gotaways” who escaped custody altogether.</p>
<p>Fox News reported last week that Fallon&#8217;s articles of impeachment against Mayorkas would come in three sections.</p>
<p>The first article alleges that Mayorkas failed to faithfully execute the &#8220;Secure the Fence Act of 2006,&#8221; saying the law requires the secretary of Homeland Security to &#8220;maintain operational control over the entire international land and maritime borders of the United States.&#8221;</p>
<p>The second article accuses Mayorkas of being in &#8220;violation of his constitutional oath, willfully provided perjurious, false, and misleading testimony to Congress&#8221; for testifying the border was secure during April 26 and November 15 congressional hearings.</p>
<p>Fallon&#8217;s last article says that Mayorkas &#8220;publicly and falsely slandered&#8221; border agents who were accused of whipping Haitian migrants in Del Rio, Texas, in 2021. Those accusations were later cleared.</p>
<p>&#8220;The 511-page report by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection&#8217;s Office of Personal Responsibility found ‘no evidence that [Border Patrol agents] involved in this incident struck, intentionally or otherwise, any migrant with their reins,’&#8221; Fallon wrote, according to Fox News. &#8220;Secretary Mayorkas slandered his own Border Patrol agents and TXDPS Troopers involved in this incident, contributing to a further decrease in already-low morale among agents.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The files have been referred to the House Judiciary Committee.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fallon promised to deliver the impeachment articles last week before the 118th Congress was officially sworn in.</span></p>
<p>Mayorkas told ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week&#8221; on Sunday that he would not resign over his handling of the southern border, adding he would be prepared for investigations by House Republicans.</p>
<p>&#8220;I do not,&#8221; Mayorkas said when pressed by anchor George Stephanopoulos to respond to McCarthy&#8217;s call for him to resign or if he had any plans to step down. &#8220;I&#8217;ve got a lot of work to do, and we&#8217;re going to do it.&#8221;</p>
