The House Homeland Security Committee’s Republican members have accused Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of being guilty of “dereliction of duty” because of policies that have led to the unprecedented influx of people crossing the border between the United States and Mexico.
Republicans have made it plain that they consider Mr. Mayorkas’ administration to be below par, while Democrats have brushed off the move as a political attack that abuses a Congressional authority meant to penalize extreme conduct, such as criminal activity.
