The U.S. House of Representatives has impeached Alejandro Majorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security. The Constitution sets a very high bar for the removal of an officeholder through impeachment. Everyone is certain that this bar will not be cleared in the U.S. Senate. Many onlookers, including plenty of our Republican representatives themselves, therefore wonder, what’s the point? And you might not expect it, but this very issue is at the heart of one of the biggest disagreements in the current Republican party. There is an unwritten parliamentary rule among legislators in leadership: You never call a vote on any measure...

The House of Representatives failed to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday due to absences and defections. There were some doubts about whether Republicans would have the votes to impeach Mayorkas. They could only afford to lose three votes, and Reps. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) and Tom McClintock (R-Calif.) had previously indicated that they intended to vote against impeachment. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) was absent because he is undergoing cancer treatment. The House vote was 214-216. Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wisc.) joined Buck and McClintock in voting with Democrats against the resolution. House GOP Majority Whip...

A whistleblower has come forward with an explosive new trove of documents, rivaling or exceeding the Twitter Files and Facebook Files in scale and importance. They describe the activities of an “anti-disinformation” group called the Cyber Threat Intelligence League, or CTIL, that officially began as the volunteer project of data scientists and defense and intelligence veterans but whose tactics over time appear to have been absorbed into multiple official projects, including those of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The CTI League documents offer the missing link answers to key questions not addressed in the Twitter Files and Facebook Files....

FBI Director Christopher Wray went silent Tuesday when questioned over whether the country is safer since President Biden took office. "Is the United States safer from foreign terror threats today? Are we safer than when Joe Biden took office — from the day he took office?" Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., asked Wray during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing. Wray took an extended pause, sitting silently and appearing to be in deep thought before finally answering. "What I would say to you is that the terror threats have elevated. But I also think there are a lot of things the...

Robert R. Krilich, 58, is charged with possessing a counterfeit U.S. security intending to defraud. Rosemont police pulled Krilich over on Tuesday afternoon because they didn’t see a license plate on his car, officials said. Things snowballed from there. First, Krilich told the officers that he just picked up his car from O’Hare after returning from Las Vegas, and he believed someone stole his plates...

After the Supreme Court ruled that states lack standing to sue President Joe Biden’s administration for not enforcing federal immigration law, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says he will reinstate the agency’s so-called “sanctuary country” orders that shield most of the nation’s illegal aliens from arrest and deportation. “We applaud the Supreme Court’s ruling,” Mayorkas said .... Snip.... On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled in an 8-1 decision that “a citizen lacks standing to contest the policies of the prosecuting authority when he himself is neither prosecuted nor threatened with prosecution” and thus states lacked standing to...

The Department of Homeland Security listed pro-life mothers as potential “radicalization suspects” in a violence prevention training guide just days after President Biden took office, documents obtained by a conservative legal watchdog show. DHS’s Office of Terrorism and Violence lists profiles of various domestic extremists in an internal memo dated Jan. 29, 2021 — including a “middle-aged pro-life advocate” — and asks participants to make “real-life decisions” to confront each. “This is Ann, a resident of Elkville in rural America,” one profile reads. “Ann has always been religious but since the death of her mother, she’s become increasingly devout. She’s...

Shortly after 4 p.m. Monday three carloads of federal agents raided an office in Washington, DC. They weren’t after money launderers or Janary 6 participants. The agents were from the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Protective Service, the agency charged with providing security to federal government facilities. Their quarry was a senior civil servant named Brian Sulc, executive director of the Transnational Organized Crime Mission Center at DHS’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis in Washington. This office was established by Joe Biden in December 2021 and, along with parallel organizations in State, Treasury, Defense, Justice, and the DNI, with the...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the ranking member on the Senate Homeland Security panel, abruptly walked out of a committee markup Wednesday morning after clashing with the panel’s chairman, Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), over amendments. Paul vented his frustration over Peters’s use of procedural tactics to effectively shield Democrats on the committee from voting on Republican amendments to the Fire Grants and Safety Act. Peters offered second-degree amendments to the Republican-sponsored amendments that completely gutted their content. At one point, Paul suggested that all the Republican members walk out of the committee meeting. “If this is the way you’re going to...

"FAIR Analysis: 5.5 Million Illegal Aliens Have Crossed our Borders Since Biden Took Office — How is Secretary Mayorkas Still Employed?" -- Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) October 25, 2022.*House Speaker, Kevin McCarthy and other House Republicans are floating a motion to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, as if that would end the invasion of millions of foreign nationals at our Southern border. How does that work, exactly, when this open-border agenda goes right to the top. If Mayorkas is removed, wouldn't President Biden just appoint another open-borders guy to fill his slot? If House Republicans do any...

Impeaching DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for failing to secure the southern border does not appear to have the support of the some Republican senators. As border patrol has encountered more than 2.3 million illegal aliens at the border, with over 230,000 migrant encounters in October, establishment Sens. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and Susan Collins (R-ME) appear averse to holding Mayorkas accountable for the southern border invasion. “Someone has to commit a high crime or misdemeanor for that to be a valid inquiry,” Romney told Politico about impeachment standards. “I haven’t seen any accusation of that nature whatsoever.”

Who Authorized the Department of Homeland Security to Police Online Speech? Not Congress Newly published documents obtained by the Intercept show the US government is actively shaping online discourse and policing speech. This invites a question: who gave them this authority? When George W. Bush signed the Homeland Security Act in 2002, the goal was to improve national security by strengthening government at various levels and helping them identify and respond to threats, particularly terrorism.''The continuing threat of terrorism, the threat of mass murder on our own soil, will be met with a unified, effective response,'' said Bush. ''Dozens of...
