U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-Calif., on Thursday demanding he hold a full impeachment trial for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Jonhson sent the letter to Schumer saying articles of impeachment for Mayorkas would be delivered to the Senate on April 10.
The letter comes after the House narrowly voted last month to impeach Mayorkas, pointing to the border crisis and unprecedented illegal flow of foreign nationals and drugs into the U.S. since President Joe Biden took office.
Johnson said Mayorkas was impeached “for high crimes and misdemeanors, including his willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law and his breach of the public trust."
