Rep. Andy Biggs to file impeachment articles against DHS chief over border crisis

 

Rep. Chip Roy has also called for Mayorkas and Biden to be impeached over the border crisis

 

Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., announced Friday that he intends to file articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, citing the administration’s handling of the crisis at the southern border.

 

"Secretary Mayorkas is a threat to the sovereignty and security of our nation," Biggs said in a statement. "As a result of his actions and policies, America is more in danger today than when he began serving as Secretary."

 

Biggs is not the first Republican to criticize the administration, and Mayorkas specifically, for the crisis at the southern border – which has seen a dramatic surge in migrant encounters that has shown little sign of slowing down. However, introducing articles of impeachment would be an escalation of that criticism.

 

Republican critics of the administration’s policies have blamed the rollback of Trump-era policies like the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), the ending of border wall construction, limited application of Title 42 public health protections and the narrowing of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) priorities for fueling the surge.

 

The Biden administration, meanwhile, has blamed "root causes" like poverty, violence and climate change in Central America and has unveiled strategies to tackle those root causes. It has also focused on processing migrants into the U.S., although in the last week it has started flying out expelled migrants to Mexico and Central America.

 

So far the indicators suggest that numbers at the border are increasing and not slowing down. On Thursday, Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that 834 unaccompanied children had reached the border in a single day, while the border city of McAllen, Texas, has set up and expanded shelters to handle COVID-positive migrants released by Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

 

Meanwhile, The Associated Press has reported that more than 210,000 migrants have been apprehended in July, according to preliminary CBP data. However, many of those are being removed under Title 42 public health protections that allow for the rapid expulsion of migrants, that the Biden administration extended earlier this month.

Biden’s Back in Afghanistan: US Deploys Bombers and Gunships to Fight Advancing Taliban Terrorists; Embassy Urges Americans to Leave Country “Immediately”

 

Shortly after announcing the departure of US troops from Afghanistan, Biden has deployed B-52 bombers and AC-130 Spectre gunships in a desperate attempt to slow the advances of Taliban terrorists who have taken over half of the country.

 

The aircraft are deploying from a US airbase in Qatar and will be joined by unmanned reaper drones in their assault on the insurgents. Their efforts will focus on 3 key cities that are currently being attacked – Kandahar, Herat, and Lashkar Gah.

 

The Taliban mobilized a military campaign and has been quickly gaining control of more territory after Biden began pulling US forces out of the country. The announcement to withdraw was made only after America’s standing in the region had been weakened by months of horrible foreign policy, which laid the groundwork for these terrorists to start taking over.

 

Biden defended his timing by claiming that the Afghan government had the ability to handle the threat themselves, saying that they are “better trained” and “more competent;” Clearly something that has not proven to be true.

 

“Do I trust the Taliban? No,” Biden said. “But I trust the capacity of the Afghan military, who is better trained, better equipped, and more and more competent in terms of conducting war.” Biden said to NPR.

 

China-Joe’s questionably-timed decision also opened the door for President Xi to step in and fund the Taliban’s rein of terror. Once Trump was out of the way and couldn’t hold them accountable, China gave $62 Billion in a bid to further their ‘belt and road’ initiative.

 

The insurgents have accelerated their efforts over the past week and the departure of troops has emboldened them like never before.

 

On Friday, in one of the most active days since beginning their campaign, terrorists violently overtook the provincial capital city of Zaranj in Nimroz. A large prison that is located there was surrendered to the invaders and they managed to release all of the prisoners.

 

On the same day, a group of Taliban gunned down the Afghan government’s chief media officer, Dawa Khan Menapal, in a brutal assassination in nearby Kabul.

 

The situation has gotten so bad on the ground that the US embassy in Afghanistan has issued a Level 4 “do-not-travel” warning and is urging American citizens who are still in the country to leave “immediately.” They even provide details on the possibility of a US evacuation flight taking place.

 

The U.S. Embassy urges U.S. citizens to leave Afghanistan immediately using available commercial flight options. Given the security conditions and reduced staffing, the Embassy’s ability to assist U.S. citizens in Afghanistan is extremely limited even within Kabul.
