Impeaching Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Summary
House Resolution 863 is a measure to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security, charging him with "high crimes and misdemeanors" related to his management of the U.S. southern border. The resolution alleges that the Secretary willfully refused to comply with federal immigration laws and breached the public trust by making false statements to Congress regarding border security.
If the Senate were to convict the Secretary following this impeachment, he would be removed from his position, leading to a leadership change at the department responsible for immigration enforcement, border security, and counter-drug operations. For everyday citizens, this action represents a formal constitutional challenge to how executive branch officials implement federal policy and manage national security resources.
