TL;DR Summary

House Republicans are set to vote again on impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas after their initial attempt fell short. The vote is expected to take place on Tuesday, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise indicating support for the second impeachment effort. Republicans are seeking to oust Mayorkas over his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border, citing record illegal migrant crossings and accusing him of refusing to comply with federal immigration laws. The White House has criticized the impeachment effort as "extreme, far-right politics" and "unconstitutional," while DHS has called it a "farce" and a distraction from national security priorities.
