Trivia
editCan someone explain why this is in the lede, let alone the article:
Mayorkas is the first refugee and first person born in Latin America to lead the department.
How is this relevant to the article? Does it make him better at this job? How? Doesn't WP:TRIVIA discourage this sort of thing? Seems like identity politics to me. 2604:3D09:C77:4E00:45FF:C25E:79F8:FF6A (talk) 15:56, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
- I moved that sentence from the lead to the body, as it's not important enough for the lead and was not mentioned in the body. That he is a refugee and from Latin America is essential to his biography. That he is the "first" refugee and person from Latin America to lead DHS is more trivial. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:23, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
the article claims “Republican dissatisfaction with immigration and border issues” led to Mayorkas’s impeachment. According to Pew, Gallup and many other polls it’s not just Republicans dissatisfaction . The majority of Americans are dissatisfied with border security and immigration. The article makes it sound like it was an attack by Republicans, when according to polls they were serving the will of the majority of Americans.

- None of those three links reference the impeachment, so this is WP:OR / WP:SYNTH. "Republican dissatisfaction" in this case appears to refer specifically to House Republicans. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:13, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
