“Further reason my Committee is initiating impeachment proceedings against Secretary Mayorkas”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green, MD (R-TN) released the following statement after Customs and Border Protection (CBP) finally published border encounter numbers for the month of November, showing 242,418 total encounters at the Southwest border, and 308,728 nationwide:
 
“By strategically holding the release of these numbers until the Friday before Christmas, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is unabashedly showing the full measure of his duplicity. These numbers are so bad, he wants as few Americans to see them as possible. And December’s numbers, which will be released in January, are anticipated to be even more grim. Fortunately, next month the Secretary won’t have a major holiday as a convenient shield to hide behind. This cowardly quest to evade accountability and transparency is further reason my Committee is initiating impeachment proceedings against Secretary Mayorkas early in the new year. This devastating and utter disaster for our country will no longer be tolerated.”
