The filing included naming crimes allegedly committed by immigrants who were in the U.S. illegally

“In all of this, Kamala Devi Harris willfully and systematically refused to uphold the immigration laws, failed to control the border to the detriment of national security, compromised public safety, and violated the rule of law, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States,” per the articles.

Also on Tuesday, Ogles said Harris should invoke the 25th Amendment against Biden and become the acting president.

In February, the House impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas regarding immigration.

Those articles were eventually dismissed by the Senate.
