Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto Votes Against Mayorkas Impeachment… Days After Senior Adviser Was Killed By Illegal Alien
Senator Catherine Cortez Masto declined the opportunity to impeach the Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, for his failure to secure the southern border while an illegal alien languishes in custody over the killing of one of her senior advisers.
Posting on the X platform, Cortez Masto described efforts to impeach Mayorkas as a “waste of time”:
There is no evidence that [Secretary Mayorkas] committed high crimes and misdemeanors, so I voted to end this waste of time. Republicans could have made real policy changes, but they decided to play games and killed the bipartisan border package in favor of this frivolous impeachment.
Impeachment is not a tool to iron out policy disagreements.
