The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has hired the services of lawyers from Debevoise & Plimpton, a firm that has previously aided House Democrats in the impeachment trial of President Trump. This is in an effort to protect their Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, from any potential impeachment charges from House Republicans who have been signaling their intention to impeach him for his handling of the crisis at the southern border.

Reps. Pat Fallon and Andy Biggs of Texas and Arizona respectively, along with then-House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy have all acted to initiate proceedings against Mayorkas for his role in the border crisis. A DHS spokesperson said that hiring outside legal counsel was necessary to ensure that their important mission was not disrupted by these unprecedented and partisan actions by some members of Congress.

The DHS official went on to explain that protecting the country from terrorism and other threats should remain the priority, stressing that they wanted this situation not to distract Mayorkas or anyone else from their job. In response, Mayorkas himself said he hopes Congress will take steps to fix the broken immigration system once and for all, so as to avoid further issues like this one.

Meanwhile, under Mayorkas’ tenure as Secretary at DHS, illegal immigration at the nation’s borders saw unprecedented surges with more than 2.3 million migrant encounters recorded during fiscal year 2022 alone. He, and the entire Biden regime have utterly failed as securing our border. This all started on Day One when Biden halted construction of the border wall.

On top of all of this, Biden himself needs to be lawyering up because between the border situation and the potential attack of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, he may be next on the list to face impeachment. Once again, I don’t think that it’ll get anywhere since the Democrats control the Senate and they stick with one another no matter what.
