    The Honorable Charles E. Schumer Majority Leader


    United States Senate
    Washington, D.C. 20510

    Dear Majority Leader Schumer:

    As Speaker and impeachment managers of the U.S. House of Representatives, we write


    to inform you that we will present to you upon the Senate’s return, on April 10, 2024, the duly
    passed articles of impeachment regarding Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro
    Mayorkas. We urge you to schedule a trial of the matter expeditiously.

    On February 13, 2024, the House of Representatives voted to impeach Secretary


    Mayorkas for high crimes and misdemeanors, including his willful and systemic refusal to
    comply with the law and his breach of the public trust. The evidence on both charges is clear,
    comprehensive, and compelling, and the House’s solemn act to impeach the first sitting Cabinet
    official in American history demands timely action by the Senate.

    This methodical approach led us—and the American people—to the conclusion that
    Secretary Mayorkas’ actions warranted impeachment. He refused to comply with the
    requirements of the immigration laws passed by Congress. In fact, he directed, through a series
    of memoranda, DHS employees to violate U.S. immigration laws. Consequently, the Secretary is
    responsible for releasing millions of illegal aliens into the interior and creating unlawful mass-
    parole programs. Throughout his tenure, he has repeatedly lied to Congress and the American
    people about the scope of the crisis and his role in it. His unlawful actions are responsible for the
    historic crisis that has devastated communities throughout our country, from the smallest border
    town in Texas to New York City.

    The constitutional grounds for Secretary Mayorkas’ conviction and removal from office
    are well-founded, and the historical record is clear. The Framers of our Constitution gave
    Congress this authority for scenarios where executive branch officials, who are responsible for
    executing the laws passed by Congress, flout the law substituting their own judgment for that of
    Congress.

    We call upon you to fulfill your constitutional obligation to hold this trial. The American
    people demand a secure border, an end to this crisis, and accountability for those responsible. To
    table articles of impeachment without ever hearing a single argument or reviewing a piece of
    evidence would be a violation of our constitutional order and an affront to the American people
    whom we all serve.
    Sincerely,

    Mike Johnson Mark Green
