WASHINGTON (AP) — Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says he doesn't take it personally that House Republicans are trying to make him the first Cabinet official impeached in nearly 150 years, saying the attacks against him are politics: “They don’t know me."
In a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press Friday, the secretary spoke of impeachment, soon-to-be-released border legislation, and his concerns going into the 2024 election.
He said he is “totally focused on the work” that his agency conducts and is not distracted by the politics of impeachment.
