WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today expressed disappointment and frustration after Senate Democrats refused to consider articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

In a statement, Senator Graham highlighted his concerns, stating, "The policies of this administration, being carried out by Secretary Mayorkas, are illegal. The man charged with murdering Laken Riley was illegally released into the United States by the Department of Homeland Security."

Graham further emphasized the need for Senate debate on the issue, remarking, "This is a topic that should have been debated in the Senate as we considered the articles of impeachment against Secretary Mayorkas."

The Senator criticized the Democratic stance, pointing out, "We had a chance today to finally hold someone accountable for the Americans who have been raped, murdered or injured as a result of the broken border. But Democrats swept this under the rug because they are more concerned with the upcoming elections than protecting the American people."

Describing the Senate proceedings, Graham expressed his discontent, saying, "Today’s exercise on the Senate floor gives kangaroo courts a bad name." He concluded with a somber note, stating, "This is a sad day for the Senate."

The refusal to address the impeachment articles has left Senator Graham and others disappointed, highlighting the ongoing political divisions and priorities within the Senate.
