"Impeachment Looms for Mayorkas Amidst Border Crisis and Partisan Tensions"

House Republicans are moving to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, citing the ongoing border crisis as a central issue. This marks a strategic shift from previous considerations of impeaching President Biden. The impeachment effort is expected to proceed through the House Homeland Security Committee, with bipartisan support appearing uncertain due to a narrow Republican majority and concerns over setting a precedent. The move reflects the GOP's focus on immigration as a key topic for the 2024 campaign, while Democrats and some constitutional experts argue that policy disagreements do not constitute impeachable offenses.

The House Homeland Security Committee has been investigating Mayorkas for alleged dereliction of duty and is preparing to hold impeachment hearings. Mayorkas has been a key figure in Senate negotiations for a bipartisan border policy deal, which has been a point of contention in the impeachment debate.
