House Republicans Introduce Articles of Impeachment Against Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas Over Immigration Policy Disputes
• House Republicans unveiled articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, accusing him of "breach of trust" and "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law."
• The articles accuse Mayorkas of not upholding immigration laws, exceeding his authority, risking public safety, making false statements to Congress, and obstructing congressional oversight.
• The Homeland Security Committee is expected to advance the impeachment effort along party lines on Tuesday, allowing the full House to potentially vote the week of Feb. 5.
• The impeachment effort has drawn criticism from Democrats and legal experts, plus skepticism from some Republicans who don't think Mayorkas committed a high crime or misdemeanor.
• The Department of Homeland Security called the impeachment vote "just more of the same political games" and "a farce" distracting from other national security priorities.
