Congressman Jake LaTurner voiced his support for the impeachment of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, citing violations of immigration and border security laws. LaTurner emphasized the need for accountability in Washington, stating, "Secretary Mayorkas signed his own pink slip when he refused to enforce federal immigration laws and failed in his Constitutional duty to protect our homeland from the worsening invasion at our southern border."
LaTurner expressed his belief that new leadership is necessary at the Department of Homeland Security, underscoring the importance of upholding federal laws and ensuring the safety of the American people. He highlighted the significant challenges faced since President Biden took office, including 9 million illegal immigrant encounters, 1.7 million getaways, and 169 individuals on the terrorist watch list.
Moreover, LaTurner pointed out the alarming influx of fentanyl across U.S. borders under Secretary Mayorkas's tenure, stating that "over 54,000 pounds of fentanyl have crossed U.S. borders since President Biden took office—more than enough to kill the entire human population." The Congressman's decision to support the impeachment resolution reflects his commitment to holding officials accountable for their actions in safeguarding national security and enforcing immigration laws.
