House Republicans, led by Rep. Andy Biggs, said they would open an impeachment inquiry into Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas.
Title 42 was introduced under the Trump administration, expelling migrants and closing official ports of entry for asylum seekers.Emboldened Republican lawmakers vowed to investigate Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for what they said was a dereliction of duty over the federal government's response to record number of migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border.
On Tuesday, 20 Republican lawmakers and former border officials issued a warning to Mayorkas, promising to open an investigation through the House Judiciary Committee into the current administration's border policies that could end with his impeachment from office. Lawmakers, including Biggs, especially called out Mayorkas for admitting tens of thousands of unauthorized migrants into the country under humanitarian parole, saying he had abused the limited exception by applying it in a"categorial and generic manner" rather than on a case by case basis.
