Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D., delivered impassioned remarks on the Senate Floor leading up to the Senate receiving the articles of impeachment for DHS Secretary Mayorkas. Senator Marshall emphasized the urgency of holding Secretary Mayorkas accountable for his perceived failures in border security and protection of the American people.

Senator Marshall sternly stated, "Make no mistake about it: a vote to BLOCK the impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas is a vote to keep our borders open. It’s a vote to continue the deadly track of lawlessness." He further highlighted the widespread impact of the border situation, declaring, "Ask any American, and they will tell you every state is a Border state."

Expressing his disappointment in the upcoming proceedings, Senator Marshall condemned the Senate's approach, labeling it as a "complete political charade that undermines this Chambers’ responsibility and the oath we swore to protect this great nation." He accused Senate Democrats of avoiding accountability for Secretary Mayorkas, suggesting they are prioritizing political interests over national security concerns.

Senator Marshall warned of the potential consequences of blocking the impeachment trial, stating, "Secretary Mayorkas has failed in his duty to protect our borders and uphold our laws." He urged his colleagues to reconsider their stance, emphasizing, "there is still time to do the right thing—vote in support of holding Secretary Mayorkas accountable."

In conclusion, Senator Marshall emphasized the role of the American people in the process, asserting, "The people, the citizens of this great republic, THEY are the true judge and jury." He called for transparency and accountability, reminding Senators that their actions will be remembered by voters in the future.

The debate surrounding Secretary Mayorkas's impeachment is poised to continue, with Senator Marshall and his colleagues advocating for a trial to address concerns regarding border security and national sovereignty.
