House Republicans on Tuesday voted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, accusing him of violating public trust, failing to impose U.S. border policy, and a “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law.”
Conservative lawmakers attempted to impeach Mayorkas last week but were unsuccessful as three members — Reps. Ken Buck, R-Colo., Mike Gallagher, R-Wisc., and Tom McClintock, R-Calif. — joined Democrats in shooting down the impeachment articles. The bipartisan move left many GOP lawmakers frustrated, as the notion of party agreement has become something of a taboo amongst some Republicans, as seen with the intense opposition to bipartisan-border related legislation only after former President Donald Trump spoke out against it.
