Carter, Sr. (D-La.) issued the following statement in response to sham articles of impeachment for Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas:\n\n\u201cAs colleagues in the United States House of Representatives, Democrats and Republicans must work together. By introducing bogus articles of impeachment for Secretary Mayorkas, we\u2019re not looking for real solutions. Imagine what our democracy would look like if we started impeaching one another simply because we disagreed on politics, policy, or ideology. It\u2019s a dangerous slope that none of us would survive.\n\n\u201cOur founding fathers were clear that policy differences are NOT grounds for impeachment. I believe that Risk Rating 2.0 is a bad, ill-conceived, hurtful, downright wrong policy. In fact, I\u2019ve said that to Secretary Mayorkas on the record multiple times, but my difference in opinion on this is not grounds to impeach him. The Constitution plainly states that impeachment is only justified by truly extraordinary misconduct. Republicans don\u2019t have any evidence to support the Constitutional standard for impeachment.\n\n\u201cLet\u2019s get back to the work of the American people. We all want what\u2019s best, but we\u2019re divided by a hoax with no substance.\u201d\n\nWatch Rep. Carter\u2019s remarks in the Committee on Homeland Security here and here.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T23:46:48Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-carter-statement-sham-impeachment-homeland-security-secretary"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6763110868632793, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
