Congressman John James | Rep. John James Official U.S House Headshot
Representative John James (MI-10) has called for the impeachment and trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, accusing him of treason and dereliction of duty. In a statement, Rep. James stated, "Evidence has proven that Mayorkas’ sustained and willful betrayal of the public trust makes him an accessory to the poisoning of millions of Americans complicit in a modern-day slave trade and so derelict in his duty to secure the homeland that it crosses unequivocally into the realm of high crimes and misdemeanors."
Rep. James' call for impeachment comes as the House Homeland Security Committee continues its ongoing inquiry into Secretary Mayorkas. Last month, Rep. James visited Eagle Pass, TX, where he witnessed the border crisis unfolding under the Biden Administration. He has also been vocal about the crisis along the northern border, which directly impacts his congressional district.
The statement from Rep. James highlights the deep concerns and frustration surrounding the immigration policies and border security measures implemented by the Biden Administration. The accusation of treason and complicity in a modern-day slave trade reflects the gravity of the situation as perceived by Rep. James.
The impeachment inquiry against Secretary Mayorkas signifies the growing dissatisfaction among some members of Congress regarding the handling of immigration issues and border security. It remains to be seen how the investigation will progress and what further actions may be taken.
With the border crisis continuing to dominate headlines and political discussions, the statement from Rep. James adds to the ongoing debate on how best to address the situation and ensure the security and well-being of American citizens.
