Rep. Tiffany Statement on Impeaching Secretary Mayorkas

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) released the following statement after voting for H. Res. 863. 

“For the last three years, Secretary Mayorkas has willfully refused to enforce federal immigration laws, abused his parole authority, repeatedly lied to Congress, and unleashed millions of illegal aliens and deadly drugs into our communities,” said Congressman Tiffany. “His implementation of a mass catch-and-release scheme where illegals have been dumped into American neighborhoods with no court dates or monitoring is a danger to every American. I do not take an impeachment vote lightly, but it’s time to put the safety of our citizens first and hold Secretary Mayorkas accountable for his failures.”

• NBC News: “The Biden administration is now preparing a memo that will direct Customs and Border Protection to begin releasing migrants into the U.S. without court dates or the ability to track them, according to three sources familiar with the plans.”
• CBS News: “More than 1 million people have been allowed to enter the U.S. under Biden administration programs based on the immigration parole authority.”
• Fox News: “Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Monday admitted to Border Patrol agents that the current rate of release for illegal immigrants apprehended at the southern border is above 85.”
