House Republicans Push to Impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas

Mayorkas Defends His Handling of Border Crisis, Calls Impeachment Allegations 'Baseless'

  • House Republicans are pushing to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, accusing him of refusing to follow immigration law and breaching public trust.
  • The House Homeland Security Committee is meeting to advance two articles of impeachment against Mayorkas, with a full House vote expected to follow.
  • Mayorkas has defended his handling of the border crisis, calling the allegations against him 'baseless' and 'false'.
  • Legal experts and some Republicans have questioned the validity of the impeachment case, arguing that policy disagreements are not a basis for impeachment.
  • Despite the impeachment proceedings, it is unlikely that Mayorkas will lose his job as the Democratic-controlled Senate has shown no interest in pursuing his conviction.
