Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Josh Brecheen voted on the House floor to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The vote failed in the House of Representatives by a vote of 216-214. 

“As a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, we did not take this impeachment process lightly. I voted for impeachment not because of policy differences or politics, though I disagree with Secretary Mayorkas wholeheartedly. The issue at hand is Mayorkas’ refusal to comply with existing immigration laws related to detention and parole and his breach of the public trust. Nobody is above congressional statute or the Constitution, including Secretary Mayorkas,” said Congressman Josh Brecheen. 

Earlier in the day, Congressman Brecheen spoke on the House floor and appeared on CNN to discuss Mayorkas’ impeachment.
