) grants the Secretary of Homeland Security the authority to parole aliens on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit, provided that the aliens present neither a security risk nor a risk of absconding . In direct violation of the intent and spirit of the law, Secretary Mayorkas has overseen the abuse of parole authority under such section 212(d)(5)(A). At the direction of Secretary Mayorkas, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has unlawfully used this authority to triage overcrowded processing facilities, releasing aliens into the interior of the United States without proper detention and vetting. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data, parole authority under such section 212(d)(5)(A) was used 268,268 times between October 2021 and November 2022, at the international land border with Mexico. This form of administrative catch-and-release has been carried out under the direct command of Secretary Mayorkas. Any law enforcement professional would know that massive abuses of parole authority are a clear threat to the safety and security of the American people. Aliens are being released without proper screening, enabling them to disappear into the United States with little hope that they will appear for immigration court proceedings. Secretary Mayorkas’ broad application of parole authority clearly violates the case-by-case standard outlined in such section 212(d)(5)(A). Secretary Mayorkas has demonstrated a blatant disregard for the statutory limits of the Immigration and Nationality Act. He has unlawfully abused his authorities and has willingly and maliciously released record numbers of illegal aliens into the United States, violating Federal law, undermining the sovereignty of the United States, and jeopardizing the security of the American citizenry. Wherefore, Secretary Mayorkas, by such conduct, thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.
