WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman David G. Valadao (CA-22) released the following statement after voting yes on two articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas:

“Secretary Mayorkas’ refusal to comply with our federal immigration laws has undeniably led to the humanitarian and national security crisis at our southern border,” said Congressman Valadao. “Over the past three years, our southern border has been overrun by drug cartels, terrorists, and human traffickers, and American families are paying the price. Impeachment is one of the highest powers available to Congress and should not be taken lightly. Secretary Mayorkas must be held accountable for refusing to comply with federal immigration laws.”
