HRES 411 United States House · 118th Congress

Impeaching Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

HRES 411 is a resolution introduced by House members to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, alleging he failed to secure U.S. borders and enforce immigration laws. It claims he violated the Secure Fence Act of 2006 and the Immigration and Nationality Act by not maintaining border control (citing statistics like 6 million border encounters during his tenure), ending border wall construction, and implementing policies like "catch and release" that allegedly facilitated illegal crossings and drug trafficking. The resolution specifically cites failures related to fentanyl seizures (over 14,000 pounds in 2023) and border security protocols. This is a formal House accusation seeking Senate trial, not a law or policy change.
