House Republicans Prepare Impeachment Articles Against Homeland Security Secretary Over Immigration Policy, Facing Uphill Battle in Democrat-Controlled Senate
-
House Republicans are preparing to sign articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and deliver them to the Senate soon.
-
Senate Democrats likely have the votes to quickly dismiss the impeachment charges, but Republicans are vowing to fight to force a full Senate trial.
-
The impeachment charges accuse Mayorkas of refusing to enforce immigration laws amid a migrant surge at the southern border.
-
Even some Republicans believe the impeachment effort goes too far and is blatantly partisan.
-
Throughout the process, Mayorkas has denied any wrongdoing and says the allegations have no factual or legal basis.
