House Republicans Push to Impeach Homeland Security Chief over Border Policies
-
House Republicans are moving quickly to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, with a committee vote by end of January and full House vote in February.
-
They accuse Mayorkas of "egregious misconduct" in handling the U.S.-Mexico border, linking his policies to migrant deaths from fentanyl overdoses.
-
Mayorkas has not testified at the hearings, with Democrats arguing policy differences don't merit impeachment and Republicans accusing him of "stonewalling."
-
If impeached, charges would go to Senate for trial, but conviction requires a supermajority and faces long odds.
-
Action being driven by border security concerns on campaign trail and Republican eagerness to fulfill promises after winning House majority.
