WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Congressman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) - a House impeachment manager in the trial of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and chairman emeritus of the House Homeland Security Committee - slammed Senate Democrats for voting to dismiss the articles of impeachment against Secretary Mayorkas.

"Under Secretary Mayorkas' watch, approximately 9 million people have illegally crossed the border - including more than 300 people on the terror watch list - and more than 200,000 young Americans have died from fentanyl poisoning," said Rep. McCaul. "Yet Chuck Schumer's Senate voted to let him off the hook, refusing to hear a single argument in an impeachment trial. Today will go down in history as the day Senate Democrats abandoned their constitutional responsibility, defied centuries of historical precedent, and failed the American people."

Yesterday, Rep. McCaul joined the other impeachment managers to transmit the articles of impeachment against Secretary Mayorkas to the United States Senate. Today, the Senate voted to dismiss the articles of impeachment against Secretary Mayorkas.
