The event comes amid growing calls to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
The event, scheduled for 3:30 p.m., comes amid growing calls to impeach Mayorkas, who has overseen the agency's response to a historic surge in migrant crossings that began before he took office in 2021. The press conference will feature Texas Reps. Tony Gonzales of San Antonio, Dan Crenshaw of Houston, Brian Babin of Woodville and August Pfluger of San Angelo.
Republicans have increasingly threatened to impeach Mayorkas as they prepare to take over leadership of the U.S. House next year, but McCarthy's advisory did not mention those calls. The GOP has secured at least 219 seats in the House — one more than necessary for a majority — with a handful of races still uncalled.
