The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has recently secured the services of lawyers from the law firm Debevoise & Plimpton in order to protect their Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, from any potential impeachment threats posed by some House Republicans. This came as a result of Reps. Pat Fallon and Andy Biggs of Texas and Arizona respectively, as well as Kevin McCarthy’s attempts to initiate proceedings against Mayorkas for his role in the border crisis.
A DHS spokesperson stated that employing outside legal counsel was necessary in order to mitigate any distractions that could disrupt their mission to protect the country from terrorism and other security threats. Furthermore, they aimed to ensure that everyone would be able to stay focused on their respective duties rather than being drawn away due to these unprecedented and partisan actions taken by some members of Congress. As such, Mayorkas himself expressed hope that Congress will take steps towards remedying the broken immigration system so as to avoid further issues related to this matter.
In addition to hiring lawyers from Debevoise & Plimpton, it is also important for DHS and its Secretary alike to remain proactive in dealing with this situation. Gaining a better understanding of all aspects concerning it – whether it be political or jurisdictional – can help them anticipate the implications of certain actions beforehand and formulate strategies accordingly.
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.
