U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and her colleagues led a letter to Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to demand a Senate trial for U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas’ impeachment, highlighting the Senate’s constitutional obligation to conduct a thorough trial following the House impeaching him earlier this month.

Senator Lummis said under Secretary Mayorkas’ failed leadership, dangerous cartels have assumed control of the southwest border, rolling out the red carpet for people on the terror watchlist and flooding our communities with lethal drugs. We cannot allow him to continue to hide from the consequences of this administration’s open-door policies. Lummis added the Senate has a constitutional obligation to conduct a thorough trial which examines the Secretary’s willful and repeated refusal to uphold the law, and she urges Republican leadership not to stand idly by as Senator Schumer attempts to sweep this dereliction of duty under the rug.
