Florida AG calls on Congress again to impeach Mayorkas as House proceedings continue

(The Center Square) – Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody is once again calling on Congress to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for failing to secure U.S. borders as the U.S. House continues its proceedings this week in an effort to do so.

The U.S. House Homeland Security Committee is scheduled to hold its second hearing on Thursday targeting Mayorkas.

“Secretary Mayorkas has undoubtedly orchestrated the most destructive and harmful border security policies in the history of the United States,” Moody said. “Every time we believe the numbers cannot possibly get worse, they do,” referring to record illegal entries and apprehensions being reported every month.

Moody first led a multistate coalition calling on Mayorkas to resign in February 2022. She urged Congress to impeach him in April 2023. The Florida AG also has sued Mayorkas multiple times, arguing his policies are unconstitutional and violate the laws established by Congress. She led a multistate coalition calling on Congress to give states the authority to enforce federal immigration law.
