In a bold move, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has forced a vote on impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for the second time in just a month. Greene's impeachment measure, charging Mayorkas with "high crimes and misdemeanors," was brought to the floor as a privileged resolution, compelling leadership to take action on the measure within two legislative days.

This latest effort comes on the heels of the House referring Greene's initial impeachment resolution to the Homeland Security Committee, effectively blocking it from going to a direct vote. By doing so, eight Republicans joined forces with Democrats, dealing a setback to Greene's push to remove Mayorkas from office. In response to her opponents, Greene criticized their reliance on House procedure, pointing out that her articles of impeachment had languished in committee for over six months without progress.

Although it is expected that Greene's current impeachment effort will fail, she maintains that she will keep reintroducing it if necessary. The congresswoman argues that the American people will not tolerate Republicans continuously voting against the impeachment. Greene asserts that the ongoing border crisis puts lives at risk and demands action.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) responded to Greene's repeated impeachment resolution, calling it a "baseless attack" and stating that it is without merit. The DHS emphasized that such actions divert attention from critical national security priorities.

During the House proceedings, Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.) criticized Greene's attempt to expedite the impeachment of Mayorkas. McClintock asserted that despite the secretary's failures, they did not meet the standards for impeachment. He further criticized Greene for bypassing due process and constitutional constraints, characterizing her actions as reckless and partisan.

Responding to McClintock's remarks, Greene highlighted that he does not support impeachment in general, implying a difference in priorities between them.

Greene's impeachment resolution accuses Mayorkas of "willful admittance of border crossers" and alleges his violation of the Secure Fence Act, a 2006 law that sets standards for border security. Mayorkas has previously defended his actions, stating that operational control, as defined by the statute, has not been achieved by any administration. He emphasized the need for a reasonable interpretation, taking into account the resources dedicated to border security.

In expressing her frustration, Greene claimed to have minimal communication with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) regarding her impeachment effort. She expressed disappointment in his leadership, stating that Speaker Johnson hasn't made her impeachment resolution a priority, unlike his predecessor Speaker McCarthy.

As the impeachment process unfolds, it remains to be seen how Greene's renewed effort against Secretary Mayorkas will be received and what impact it may have on the ongoing debate surrounding border security.
