In a 6pg letter sent Tues to #Homeland#Security Cmte chairman Rep Mark Green, Mayorkas detailed his lengthy career & pushed back on the #GOP’s accusations that he has avoided their oversight….
“We have provided #Congress & your Cmte hrs of testimony, thousands of docs, hundreds of briefings, & much more info that demonstrates quite clearly how we are enforcing the #law.”
His responsiveness to the #House’s oversight requests would not waiver, however “baseless” the proceedings, he added. “I assure you that your false accusations do not rattle me & do not divert me from the #law enforcement & broader #PublicService to which I remain devoted,” #Mayorkas wrote.
…Constitutional experts & Dems have argued that #Republicans are abusing a tool adopted by the framers of the #Constitution to protect the country from despotic leadership to instead address a policy dispute. Two #law professors who testified before the cmte this month both stated that they did not see a constitutional basis for #impeachment.
While the #House has been trying to impeach #Mayorkas on baseless accusations, Mayorkas has been providing technical expertise to the #Senate for the bipartisan #immigration bill.
