"House Republicans Push Forward with Impeachment of DHS Secretary Mayorkas Despite Democratic Opposition"

House Republicans are moving closer to impeaching DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the southern border, with a markup of impeachment articles scheduled for Tuesday. Despite legal scholars pouring cold water on the GOP's legal arguments, senior House Republicans are confident they have the support to impeach Mayorkas, who would be the first Cabinet secretary to be impeached in nearly 150 years. The impeachment effort comes amid building pressure from the Republican base to hold the Biden administration accountable on the border, and even if Mayorkas were impeached, it is highly unlikely that he will be charged in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
