House Panel to Hold Hearings on Impeaching DHS Secretary over Border Crisis
• House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green plans to hold hearings in January on impeaching DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the border crisis.
• Green says the committee has been methodically investigating Mayorkas since June and will mark up articles of impeachment after the hearings.
• At least 4-5 House Republicans have already introduced impeachment resolutions against Mayorkas related to border security failures.
• Democrats defended Mayorkas and called the impeachment push a "political stunt."
• Green says the committee has the authority to impeach after Democrats referred a prior resolution to his panel rather than trying to kill it.
