Sherrill Blasts House Republicans’ Sham Impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas

Washington, D.C. – Today,Representative Mikie Sherrill (NJ-11) released the following statement following House Republicans’ sham impeachment of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. This vote comes as the second attempt at impeachment in two weeks, after House Republicans failed to earn enough votes from their own party to impeach the DHS Secretary last week.

“After failing to impeach Secretary Mayorkas last week, Washington Republicans once again put Donald Trump’s political agenda ahead of their duty to deliver results for the American people. Our nation is facing challenges across our Southern Border, but instead of taking steps toward bipartisan reform, Washington Republicans caved to MAGA extremists, led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and voted for a constitutionally baseless impeachment of DHS Secretary Mayorkas. 

“It’s past time that Congress passed comprehensive immigration reform. And this impeachment stunt will only make it harder to fix the real problem Congress must address: our broken immigration system.”
