Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. joined fellow conservative leaders from the Senate and House just moments after the Senate received the Articles of Impeachment for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Senator Marshall addressed the importance of proceeding with an impeachment trial, stating, "Not having an impeachment trial is a true threat to this republic. Not having an impeachment trial is unconstitutional. Even a simple country doctor like myself can read the Constitution and see that after the impeachment articles are delivered that we should have an impeachment trial."

Highlighting the impact of the Senate's decision, Senator Marshall emphasized, "A vote to stop this impeachment, whether it’s through tabling it or discharging it, is a vote to keep the border open. It’s a vote to tell the family of Laken Riley that we don’t care. It’s a vote to tell the 250,000 families that have lost a loved one to fentanyl poisoning that it doesn’t matter. That law and order doesn’t matter."

Senator Marshall urged citizens in various states to take action, saying, "I certainly just hope that the folks in states like Montana and Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, Arizona and Nevada, are paying attention. They have an opportunity to reach out to their senator and ask them to have an impeachment trial. If they don’t, then we need to hold them accountable in November."

Sharing distressing accounts of criminal activities, Senator Marshall underlined the urgency of accountability, stating, "You know there are stories after stories we could tell, Laken Riley is just one of many. Senator Cruz told you a couple of stories. Here’s one from Helena, Montana. An illegal alien who was previously charged with aggravated kidnapping and burglary was convicted of stabbing a 19-year-old man to death and sentenced for 40 years."

In conclusion, Senator Marshall reiterated the necessity of an impeachment trial, stating, "Folks not having an impeachment trial is unconstitutional. It’s not right. Americans are demanding accountability. Secretary Mayorkas is truly doing Biden’s bidding. They both need to be held accountable."
