After Republicans score a likely win in the House in November, they have a solid case for impeachment of Department of Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, legal and border experts tell the Daily Caller.
House Republicans released a paper in July outlining how they will secure the Southern border if they take the lower chamber in 2022. Republicans plan to pass the Border Security for America Act, which will complete the Southern border wall and increase funding for staffing of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Outrage ensued after the photographs made it look like the agents were whipping the migrants, when in fact the ropes seen in the pictures were the reigns agents were using to control their horses.

“He should also be impeached because he lied to the American people and punished border patrol agents knowing that there was a false media narrative that border patrol agents were whipping migrants, when in fact they were simply controlling their horses,” Davis said.

The law is very clear that illegal economic migrants cannot flood into this country, and DHS Secretary Mayorkas has willfully, intentionally ignored this. That’s impeachable.”
