When the House Committee on Homeland Security (HCHS) convenes today to consider two proposed Articles of Impeachment against Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a major point of contention will be four categories of statements in which Republicans claim he lied to Congress and the American public.

The “mark-up session” on the two proposed articles follows two previous hearings by the committee in which Republicans, led by Chairman Mark Green (R-Tenn.), made their case for removing Mr. Mayorkas. Democrats have fought the process, calling it nothing more than “a political stunt.”
