House Republicans Fast-Track Impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas

Mayorkas Accused of Border Security Failures Amid Senate Negotiations on Border Package

House Republicans are moving swiftly towards the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, with a vote expected by the end of the month.
Mayorkas is accused of failing to secure the U.S.-Mexico border and misleading Congress about the Biden administration's border control.
During the impeachment hearings, parents testified about personal tragedies linked to the border crisis, blaming Mayorkas for the deaths of their daughters.
Mayorkas has been deeply involved in Senate negotiations over a border security package, which could potentially restrict entry into the U.S. and more rapidly deport those in the country without legal documentation.
Impeachment of a Cabinet secretary has only happened once before in U.S. history, in 1876.
