Ohio Senate candidate says GOP impeaching 'traitor' Mayorkas a 'no brainer': 'Grotesquely unqualified'
Ohio Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno told Fox News Digital this week that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas should “absolutely” be impeached as House Republicans continue to move toward a floor vote on that very issue.
“Absolutely, the reality is he should have never been appointed. He is grotesquely unqualified for the job and the reality is he’s been a traitor,” Moreno told Fox News Digital as Republicans were marking up articles of impeachment against Mayorkas who they say has “repeatedly violated laws enacted by Congress regarding immigration and border security.”
“He’s not followed the laws of the land,” Moreno continued. “He’s allowed people to come in here, he’s put this country in jeopardy. We have no idea how many, hardened criminals and terrorists have come into our country. We have a number of what they’ve identified as being on a terror watch list, but as you know, there’s hundreds of thousands, if not millions who have been classified as ‘gotaways,’ people who we have no idea who they are.”
“So absolutely, Mayorkas should be impeached. I called for that over a year ago. It’s a no brainer. This guy’s grotesquely unqualified for his job.”

The push to impeach Mayorkas for his role in failing to stem the flow of record illegal immigration into the United States during Biden’s tenure is expected to come to a full House vote in a matter of days. If the vote goes through, the case will head to the Senate for a trial.
Mayorkas has strongly denied the legitimacy of an impeachment effort calling it “baseless” and “false.”

“I assure you that your false accusations do not rattle me and do not divert me from the law enforcement and broader public service mission to which I have devoted most of my career and to which I remain devoted,” Mayorkas said in a lengthy letter to House Homeland Security Committee Chair Mark Green.
Moreno, who is running in the GOP primary to compete with Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown in November, also told Fox News Digital that he does not support the framework of the current immigration bill being talked about in the Senate as a compromise between Republicans and Democrats and that no deal is “absolutely” better than a bad deal.

“5000 people a day is over 1 million illegals, 8500, which is what they’re saying what it would take to cut it off, is almost 3 million illegals a year,” Moreno explained.
“That’s an insane amount of people that are crossing into our country illegally, if they all wore the same shirt, we’d call that what it is, which is an invasion. We have to have it crystal clear to the rest of the world, there’s one way to come to America, the legal way, and we have to have a zero-tolerance policy for any illegal immigration and we actually have to reform our asylum laws to make certain that you can only cross into this country legally and if you cross illegally through a non designated port of entry, then you’re immediately returned and you forfeit your right for asylum.”
Moreno added, “I think one of the important elements that’s not been shared with the American public is Joe Biden has the ability to secure the border today with existing laws. Certainly, we have to reform asylum the way I just laid out but he has the ability to put an end to this illegal invasion of our country. He’s choosing not to do so, and Republicans should not be giving him the air cover during a presidential election year in which he can pretend that he’s actually doing something about a problem that he’s actually caused.”

ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. (KKTV) -The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) announced its mounted unit will be heading to the 2026 FIFA World Cup to help out the Kansas City Police Department.
On June 9, Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office Mounted Patrol Unit deputies will travel to Kansas City to assist with security and crowd control during the tournament.
According to the sheriff’s office, the entire task force dedicated to the tournament will consist of officers from Arkansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Ohio and Colorado.
They said three ACSO deputies and four horses will make the trip and assist in maintaining order and enhancing public safety outside Arrowhead Stadium during the following matches:
- Argentina vs. Algeria – June 16
- Ecuador vs. Curacao – June 20
- Tunisia vs. Netherlands – June 25
- Algeria vs. Austria – June 27
- Playoff game – July 3
- Quarterfinal game – July 11
The unit will also assist with the FIFA Fan Festival.
“Our mounted unit will serve as a highly visible law enforcement presence during the World Cup,” Lt. Rich Anselmi said. “Mounted deputies have an elevated vantage point that allows them to monitor large crowds and quickly identify potential security concerns. Our horses are highly trained and can move effectively through congested areas, help guide large groups of enthusiastic fans, and serve as friendly community ambassadors.”
ACSO said the horses have undergone training to simulate situations they may be in during the tournament, including exposure to smoke bombs, fireworks, flares and other loud noises. This training helps the horses remain steady, effective and safe during crowd control situations.
“We were honored to be invited to participate in the FIFA World Cup event. Our horses truly enjoy this type of work. By nature, horses like having a job, and we can see how much they enjoy the teamwork and interacting with people,” Lt. Anselmi said.

Kansas City continues to be a popular destination for Nebraska sports fans, as the 2026-27 non-conference basketball slate will add another former conference rivalry flair to the fun.
Nebraska basketball announced on Thursday that the Huskers would make a return to the T-Mobile Center and Kansas City in December to renew another former Big Eight and Big 12 rivalry. Nebraska will face Missouri on Saturday, Dec. 12, one season after the Huskers took on Kansas State in Kansas City. Ticket information for the contest will be announced in July, as tipoff time and broadcast information are set to be announced at a later date.
The former conference foes will rematch for the first time since Nebraska’s 69-58 home win at the Devaney Center on March 1, 2011. The 15-year wait is one that the program and its fans have been waiting for, according to the Huskers’ head coach.
“This is a matchup our fans will be excited about because of the history between the two programs over the years,” Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg said in the announcement. “Coach (Dennis) Gates has a team that could challenge in the SEC this season, and this will provide us a strong test right after we finish our Big Ten December schedule. Playing this matchup in Kansas City brings back a lot of memories of old conference matchups, and I believe our fans will make this a great neutral-site environment.”
As Nebraska’s national mark has risen over the past three seasons, which included two NCAA Tournament trips and a Sweet 16 run last year, Missouri has also seen steady improvement under Gates. The Tigers have made an NCAA Tournament appearance in three of the last four seasons and are coming off a 20-13 season. Missouri has also totaled at least 20 wins in each of the last two seasons, along with double-digit conference victories in the SEC for the first time since joining the conference in 2012.
Missouri has also reloaded once again, securing a top-10 recruiting class this season, pairing with the 14th-ranked transfer class. The Tigers return six players from the 2025-26 season.
“When you look at scheduling, you have to mesh it with where the selection committee is,” Gates said Wednesday night at a ‘ZOU to YOU’ fan event in St. Louis. “So with the addition of spots in the NCAA Tournament, I think we got to do, and I have to increase our strength of schedule, because opportunity to get in there as a, not only a 20-win team, but something near below is definitely going to be there.”
Kansas City road trips have had promising returns for Nebraska athletics in the last 365 days, as Nebraska football secured a season-opening victory over Cincinnati inside of Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium. Husker basketball then followed in December with an 86-85 win at the T-Mobile Center against Kansas State in late November. The Huskers held off a second-half rally by the Wildcats after leading 45-35 at halftime of the Hall of Fame Classic.
The Huskers’ leading scorer in the win, Pryce Sandfort, returns to lead a new core of Huskers after the NCAA Tournament run in March. Sandfort, Braden Frager, Cale Jacobsen, and Connor Essegian all participated in the contest a season ago and return to the team this year for a return trip to Kansas City.
None of the returning players have faced Missouri before, as the two programs rematch with a 126-93 all-time record in favor of the Tigers. Although Nebraska took the last matchup, the series is 5-5 in the last 10 matchups overall, as the last Kansas City neutral site contest went in favor of Nebraska 75-60 back on March 10, 2010.
The contest marks the third non-conference neutral-site game that has been announced by Nebraska, as the Kansas City road trip pairs with the Huskers’ visit to Uncasville, Conn., to face Providence and a visit to the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, S.D., to battle Boise State. Nebraska will also take on Creighton in Omaha at the CHI Health Center for a true road game in its non-conference.
“Everybody’s playing neutral site games right now just to try to bolster up their budgets. We have some of those in place,” Hoiberg said Tuesday during his media availability. “Those neutral-site games are important for a team like us. We have to do everything we can to compete against teams that spend a lot more… Scheduling is a lot different than it used to be.”
Nebraska basketball will report back to campus in August and begin its fall practices in preparation for the exhibition slate starting on Oct. 9 as Nebraska hosts Saint Louis, then travels to BYU on Oct. 16.
