WASHINGTON - U.S. Congressman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) has been chosen by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to be a manager for the Senate impeachment trial of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. McCaul, who serves as chairman emeritus and senior member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to stand up for the Constitution and the safety of the American people.

In a statement, Rep. McCaul highlighted Secretary Mayorkas' alleged failure to enforce the nation's laws and protect the country from both foreign and domestic threats. He stated, "An architect of destruction at our southern border, the secretary has caused serious injury to society, as the Founding Fathers discussed." McCaul, drawing from his experience as a federal prosecutor and his role in securing the border, is determined to address these concerns during the impeachment trial.

Michael McCaul brings significant expertise to the table. Before serving in Congress, he held the position of Chief of Counter Terrorism and National Security in the U.S. Attorney's office for the Western District of Texas. He also served as Texas' Deputy Attorney General and worked as a federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C. With 25 years of experience dealing with border security issues, McCaul has been a leading voice in the impeachment proceedings against Secretary Mayorkas.

To further understand the crisis at the Texas border, McCaul recently led a bipartisan trip to meet with border patrol officers. This visit allowed him to witness firsthand the challenges faced by those on the front lines of border security.

McCaul's appointment as a manager for the Senate impeachment trial demonstrates the seriousness of the allegations against Secretary Mayorkas. As the trial unfolds, it will be crucial to examine the evidence presented and assess the impact of Mayorkas' actions on national security and immigration policies.

The impeachment trial of Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is expected to be closely watched, as it pertains to critical issues such as border security and the enforcement of immigration laws. As McCaul takes on this role, he carries the responsibility of representing the concerns of the American people and ensuring accountability for those entrusted with protecting the nation.
