Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement on the House Committee on Homeland Security’s advancement of articles of impeachment for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

“I strongly support Chairman Green and Homeland Security Committee Republicans for taking this important step to hold Secretary Mayorkas accountable for willfully and systemically refusing to comply with federal immigration laws and acting in a manner subversive of the rule of law and creating the most pressing humanitarian, national security, and homeland crisis in our nation’s history,” said Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. “The catastrophic Biden border crisis, which Mayorkas is the architect of, has turned every American community into a border community and destroyed countless American families in the process, including my home state of New York where illegal encounters along the Swanton and Buffalo Sector of the Northern Border have skyrocketed. House Republicans will continue to fight to secure the border and hold Joe Biden and his Administration accountable."
