Fitzgerald Statement Following Impeachment Passage of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) issued the following statement after voting to help pass impeachment articles against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

“It is incumbent upon Congress to hold executive officials accountable for their actions. In fact, we are bound by the constitution to do so. For this reason, I voted to help pass impeachment articles against DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas,” said Rep. Fitzgerald. “I have been thoroughly convinced of these impeachment articles from the nearly 400 pages of factual background and numerous reports the Homeland Security Committee has issued on the border crisis and Secretary Mayorkas’ wrongdoing. The evidentiary record is clear, Secretary Mayorkas has defied the Immigration and Nationality Act and breached the trust of the American people. It’s no wonder there were over six million encounters on the Southern Border between 2021 and 2023—and the problem only continues to grow.”
