On Thursday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took the first step in the impeachment process against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas by introducing articles of impeachment on the House floor.
Greene introduced the articles by claiming that Mayorkas committed "high crimes and misdemeanors" while serving in the office meant to secure and protect the homeland.

The Georgia lawmaker introduced the legislation over Mayorkas' unwillingness to secure the southern border and his allowance of millions of illegal immigrants to enter the United States.

The vote on the articles impeachment is set to take place next week. Democrats have already come out against the move, with Minority Leader Hakeem Jefferies (D-NY) writing, "Marjorie Taylor Greene and the extreme MAGA Republicans in the House are totally unhinged."

Republicans have been lambasting Mayorkas for months as they attempted to get answers and pressure him to take action on the US-Mexico border. Despite these efforts, both human and drug smugglers have continued to cross the border, resulting in deadly clashes with police.
As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, eight people, including two Americans, were tragically killed in a head-on collision in Batesville, Texas, on Wednesday after a smuggler of illegal immigrants crashed into an SUV driven by two Americans.
According to CBS Austin, the incident occurred around 6:30 AM on Highway 57 between La Pryor and Batesville.
The Texas Department of Public Safety immediately responded to the crash site and shut down the highway to assess the damage and recover the bodies of the deceased.
At the time of the crash, Zavala County Sheriff's deputies were in pursuit of the smuggler when they passed an 18-wheeler and crashed directly into an SUV driven by two Georgia residents. Upon impact, the vehicle burst into flames, leading to the death of the four migrants from Honduras and the smuggler.
The tragedy has led to a plethora of responses, including from former Rep. Mayra Flores (R-TX), who wrote, "Smugglers have no regard for human life, and Americans' lives remain at risk every day under the Biden Administration's policies."

As Biden's open border policies continue to lead to dead Americans, Greene's move to impeach Mayorkas is the first step in holding the Biden administration accountable for their lack of action.
