As the U.S. Senate prepares to hold an impeachment hearing against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, former U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent Derek Maltz says Mr. Mayorkas should be held accountable for the state of U.S. border security, but he doubts Congress will take the kind of steps he’s seeking.
The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives impeached Mr. Mayorkas in February, alleging he has engaged in a “willful and systemic refusal to comply with” U.S. immigration law and has breached the public trust by lying about the state of U.S. border security and hindering congressional investigations on the topic.
