Impeachment articles were filed against President Joe Biden by Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.

Greene announced, “It is with the highest amount of solemnity that I announce my intention to introduce articles of impeachment today on the head of this America-at-last Executive Branch that has been working since January 20th, 2021, to systematically destroy this country: the President of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden.”

Biden’s failure to secure the border has “deliberately compromised our national security by refusing to enforce immigration laws and secure our border,” Greene said.

The disgraced commander-in-chief has illegally allowed “approximately six million illegals from over 170 countries to invade our country.”

Biden has also refused to give Customs and Border Protection (CBP) the resources needed to secure the border.

“His administration has willfully refused to maintain operational control as is required by law,” Greene said.

Green has also unveiled articles of impeachment against Attorney General of the United States Merrick Garland.

“In his conduct as Attorney General of the United States, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of the , and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend, the Constitution of the United States, Merrick Brian Garland continues to materially endanger the justice system of the United States and empower President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., to persecute his political adversaries at will,” the articles read.

Green said Biden and Garland are “corrupt” and “unfit to hold office.”

More on this story:

CBP reported more than 211,000 migrant encounters by authorities for the month of April, an increase from March’s numbers but down from the same month last year. There were 211,401 migrant encounters by CBP in April, down 11% from the 235,785 seen in April 2022 and up 10% from the 191,956 seen in March 2023 — however, those figures were recorded before the surge of migration that accompanied the end of Title 42.

The end of that order on May 11 brought with it concerns that there would be a fresh surge of migrants on top of the already enormous numbers authorities have been seeing. That appeared to be happening when the days preceding the end of the order saw over 10,000 encounters a day — but encounters have dropped since then to approximately 4,400 a day.

Greene announced her intention to introduce impeachment articles against Biden over the border crisis at a press conference capping off “impeachment week,” during which she has moved to impeach Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
