House Republicans Pursue Impeachment of Homeland Security Chief Over Border Crisis Handling
- House Republicans are pursuing impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the southern border crisis
- Committee chairman Mark Green says Mayorkas has evaded requests to testify and is giving him a "last chance" to submit written testimony
- Mayorkas informed the committee he can't attend the next hearing since he'll be meeting with Mexican officials
- DHS says the committee failed to find a mutually agreeable date for Mayorkas to testify and calls the impeachment push a "sham process"
- Three Republican attorneys general testified last week that Mayorkas has failed to enforce border laws and misled Congress about having "operational control"
