Homeland Security Chair Demands Mayorkas Testimony Amid Calls for Impeachment Over Border Crisis Handling
• House Homeland Security Committee Chair Mark Green demanded written testimony from DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas instead of public testimony.
• Mayorkas declined the initial hearing date due to a meeting with Mexican officials on immigration issues. DHS said Green's actions amount to a "rush to impeach."
• Mayorkas has testified before Congress more than any other Biden Cabinet official, but Green said he failed to respond to past invitations.
• Green held the first of several hearings last week to examine impeaching Mayorkas over his handling of the border, but it offered no new evidence.
• Republicans claim Mayorkas lied to Congress and was derelict in his duty to manage the border, but it's unclear if those are impeachable offenses.
