REP LIEU STATEMENT ON PARTISAN SECRETARY MAYORKAS IMPEACHMENT

WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D-Los Angeles County) issued the following statement after House Republicans voted to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.

“This was a stupid, purely partisan impeachment. Republicans still can’t explain what misdemeanors Secretary Mayorkas allegedly committed, let alone any high crimes. This political stunt is a waste of time and it will go nowhere in the Senate.

"House Republicans have no interest in actually working on behalf of American families and it shows. This impeachment won’t reduce border crossings, stop fentanyl importation, or provide CBP with the support it needs to execute its mission. It does nothing but run the clock on a Republican legislative calendar that has already been full of cheap political tricks and failures. No wonder the American public overwhelmingly disapproves of the job Congress is doing: The party controlling the House floor has no interest in actually doing anything.”
