{{quotebox-float|“Secretary Mayorkas is a threat to the [[sovereignty]] and security of our nation. As a result of his actions and policies, America is more in danger today than when he began serving as Secretary. He is willfully refusing to maintain operational control of the border and is encouraging aliens to enter our country illegally. Under his direction, DHS is systematically releasing COVID-19 positive aliens into our communities, subjecting the American people to unnecessary and avoidable risks. Secretary Mayorkas is failing to faithfully uphold his oath of office and is presiding over a reckless abandonment of border security and immigration enforcement, at the expense of the U.S. Constitution and the security of the United States.”<ref>https://biggs.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-biggs-announces-plans-file-articles-impeachment-against-dhs</ref>}}
