Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has no plans to resign, officials said after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) threatened to impeach him next year when Republicans take control of the House.
“Secretary Mayorkas is proud to advance the noble mission of this Department, support its extraordinary workforce, and serve the American people,” spokeswoman Marsha Espinosa said in an email Tuesday. “Members of Congress can do better than point the finger at someone else; they should come to the table and work on solutions for our broken system and outdated laws, which have not been overhauled in over 40 years.” She spoke after McCarthy held a news conference near the U.S.-Mexico border in El Paso, where he threatened impeachment if Mayorkas does not step down.
