Mayorkas Continues Duties Amid Impeachment, Undeterred by GOP-Led Vote

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas remains focused on his responsibilities, attending international meetings and discussing key issues despite recent impeachment by the House.

• Mayorkas, the first Cabinet secretary to be impeached since 1876, maintains a 'business as usual' approach following the House impeachment vote.
• The White House and Mayorkas aim to demonstrate resilience, focusing on national security and border issues amidst impeachment proceedings.
• Administration officials and allied groups counter the GOP's impeachment efforts, labeling them as partisan and baseless.
• Mayorkas participates in the Munich Security Conference and plans meetings on national security, including discussions on combating the flow of fentanyl with China's public health minister.
• Critics of the impeachment highlight its potential antisemitic undertones and argue it distracts from addressing real issues at the border.
