impeachment against him for high crimes and mis-
demeanors. 
ARTICLE I 
Rather than adhering to an oath he took to defend 
and secure our country and uphold the Constitution when 
he was sworn in as Secretary of Homeland Security, 
Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas has engaged in a pattern of 
conduct that is incompatible with the laws of the United 
States, as follows: 
Article II of the Constitution requires that the Execu-
tive branch, which today includes the Secretary of Home-
land Security, ensure the laws passed by Congress and 
signed into law by the President are faithfully executed. 
The Secure Fence Act of 2006 (Public Law 109–367) 
requires that the Secretary of Homeland Security ‘‘main-
tain operational control over the entire international land 
and maritime borders of the United States’’. 
In his willful admittance of border crossers, terror-
ists, human traffickers, drugs, and other contraband, 
Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas has failed to maintain oper-
ational control of the border, thereby violating the Secure 
Fence Act of 2006. 
To wit, since Mayorkas has headed the Department 
of Homeland Security, during which 0 miles of border wall 
have been added, there have been—

approximately 6 million illegal border crosser 
encounters at the southern border; 
at least 1.4 million known ‘‘gotaways’’; 
at least 193 people on terrorist watchlists 
caught while attempting to cross the border at ports 
of entry; 
at least 348,812 unaccompanied illegal children 
encountered at the southern border, with at least 
85,000 of these children having gone missing; and 
at least 1,424 deaths of illegals at the southern 
border. 
In fiscal year 2021, Customs and Border Patrol 
(CBP) seized approximately 11.2 thousand pounds of 
fentanyl. In fiscal year 2022, CBP seized a record of ap-
proximately 14.7 thousand pounds of fentanyl. In fiscal 
year 2023, thus far, CBP has seized almost 14 thousand 
pounds of fentanyl. Over 70,000 Americans died from 
fentanyl in fiscal year 2022. Fentanyl is now the number 
one killer of Americans between the ages of 18 and 45. 
The Constitution also requires the Secretary of 
Homeland Security to observe the Immigration and Na-
tionality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.). This law requires 
Homeland Security to detain inadmissible aliens arriving 
in the United States or illegal aliens presently in the 
United States. Instead, the Department of Homeland Se-

curity, under Secretary Mayorkas, has practiced catch and 
release policies, whereby illegals are detained, but then re-
leased, without any mechanism to ensure they show up 
to court for processing. 
By terminating contracts for border wall construc-
tion, ending the Migrant Protection Protocols (Remain in 
Mexico), and being complicit in ending Title 42, Mayorkas 
has made it easier for illegal people and drugs to enter 
the United States, endangering American citizens, and has 
made it harder for CBP to expel such threats. 
ARTICLE II 
Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, in his inability to en-
force the law, has engaged in a pattern of conduct that 
is incompatible with his duties as a civil officer of the 
United States. 
Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, in his failure to uphold 
the oath he took, has, by his actions, lost the trust of citi-
zens of the United States to faithfully execute the laws 
of the United States. 
Wherefore, Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, thus war-
rants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and dis-
qualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, 
or profit under the United States.
