"Mayorkas Grilled Over Border Failures and Budget Hearings Amid Impeachment"

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas faced intense scrutiny from Republican lawmakers during congressional hearings on the Biden administration's border security policies, with accusations of inaction and undermining border security. Mayorkas was grilled on the administration's failure to address the border crisis despite increased budget and executive authority, and was criticized for downplaying the severity of the situation. The House of Representatives previously impeached Mayorkas, and the Senate is set to begin trial proceedings next week.
