On Thursday, House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that the House will deliver the articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate on April 10.
In a letter addressed to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Speaker Johnson emphasized the need for an expedited trial. Co-signed by the 11 Republicans selected as impeachment managers, the letter underscored the constitutional and historical basis for Mayorkas’ removal. It accused him of neglecting to enforce existing immigration laws and engaging in deceitful conduct towards Congress and the public.
“As Speaker and impeachment managers of the U.S. House of Representatives, we write to inform you that we will present to you upon the Senate’s return, on April 10, 2024, the duly passed articles of impeachment regarding Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas,” Speaker Johnson wrote. “We urge you to schedule a trial of the matter expeditiously.”
Speaker Johnson shared the letter to Senator Schumer on X:
Together with the 11 House impeachment managers, I sent a letter to Senator Schumer telling him we’ll deliver the articles of Secretary Mayorkas’ impeachment to the Senate on April 10th and that he must hold a full trial.
The American people deserve accountability.

Approximately 11 million illegal aliens, primarily consisting of military-age males, have entered the US during Joe Biden’s residency.
While facing impeachment for overseeing this influx, Mayorkas, absurdly, blamed the invasion on “climate change.”
