Washington, D.C. - In a video statement released today, Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (IA-02) expressed her support for the effort to impeach Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. The Congresswoman described the impeachment as a necessary step to protect Americans from the growing crisis at the Southern Border.

According to Congresswoman Hinson, Secretary Mayorkas has willfully and systematically undermined immigration laws and lied to Congress and the American people at every turn. She stated, "He is complicit in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans poisoned by fentanyl. He bears responsibility for suspected terrorists now on American soil. He is to blame for the violence against U.S. border patrol agents and American citizens at the hands of illegal immigrants."

The Congresswoman emphasized that Secretary Mayorkas has deliberately refused to follow U.S. laws and breached the public's trust, with grave consequences. She argued that his offenses have jeopardized national security and put Americans at risk.

Congresswoman Hinson applauded the Homeland Security Committee for conducting a thorough and fair investigation into the actions of Secretary Mayorkas. She concluded by stating, "It is our Constitutional duty to impeach Secretary Mayorkas."

The video statement by Congresswoman Hinson highlights the strong sentiment among some lawmakers regarding the actions of Secretary Mayorkas and the need to hold him accountable for his alleged misconduct. The impeachment effort is seen as a response to concerns over the handling of immigration and border security issues.

As the debate over the impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas continues, it remains to be seen how this will impact the broader political landscape and the ongoing efforts to address the challenges at the Southern Border.
