Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) has introduced articles of impeachment against Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming her negligence in enforcing federal immigration laws.
Breitbart reported that Ogles asserts that Harris's inaction has intensified the border crisis, triggering numerous tragic incidents involving illegal aliens. He believes that as Biden's border czar, she has liability for the crisis.
The articles of impeachment were introduced by Rep. Andy Ogles on Tuesday following the news that Harris would be taking over from President Biden after he suddenly bowed out of the presidential race.
Ogles alleges that Vice President Kamala Harris has “willfully and systematically” neglected her duty to enforce federal immigration laws. He claims her failure has resulted in a breach of public trust.
The impeachment resolution accuses Harris of “high crimes and misdemeanors” related to the border crisis and illegal immigration. According to Ogles, Harris has shown a consistent “refusal to uphold existing immigration laws” and demonstrated “palpable indifference” to Americans affected by the crisis.
Harris reportedly “consistently refused to visit the southern border to evaluate this ongoing national crisis,” except for one visit in June 2021, which was “hundreds of miles away from the epicenter of the migrant crisis.”
President Joe Biden assigned Harris to handle illegal immigration in March 2021, tasking her with cooperating with Central American nations to address the root causes of the problem. Despite this, Ogles alleges that her inaction has exacerbated the situation.
Ogles highlights several tragic incidents purportedly connected to illegal immigration. These incidents include the August 2023 rape and murder of Rachel Morin, a mother of five, by an illegal alien.
In September 2023, another illegal alien allegedly attacked a woman and her 9-year-old daughter in Los Angeles. In February 2024, 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley was killed by an illegal alien.
Additional incidents cited by Ogles include the May 14, 2024, rape of a 15-year-old New York girl by an illegal alien from Turkey and the June 2024 rape of a 13-year-old girl in Queens park. In June 2024, 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray from Houston was killed by two illegal aliens.
Ogles also mentions that five illegal aliens were charged with kidnapping a 14-year-old Indiana girl. These incidents are presented as evidence of the negative impacts of what Ogles describes as Harris's “palpable indifference.”
Ogles states that December 2023 witnessed nearly 302,000 encounters with illegal aliens at the border, the highest number ever recorded in a single month. Furthermore, the first five months of Fiscal Year 2023 saw the seizure of 106 pounds of drugs, including 11,000 pounds of fentanyl.
Aside from the border crisis, Ogles's resolution includes claims that Harris has misled the public regarding President Biden’s physical and cognitive health. This, he argues, is another breach of public trust.
Ogles maintains that Harris has committed “high crimes and misdemeanors,” impacting American women and girls disproportionately due to the ongoing border crisis. He emphasizes the need for accountability and better enforcement of immigration laws.
The impeachment articles brought forth by Ogles mark a significant escalation in the political discourse surrounding the U.S. border crisis. The outcome of this move remains to be seen.
Rep. Andy Ogles has launched impeachment articles against Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing her of failing to enforce federal immigration laws and breaching public trust.
The resolution points to Harris's handling of the border crisis and a series of tragic incidents as evidence of her alleged high crimes and misdemeanors.
