House Republicans took a major step toward impeaching Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Early Wednesday morning, the House Homeland Security Committee voted 18 to 15 to advance two articles of impeachment against Mayorkas over the Biden administration's handling of immigration at the Southern Border.
The first of two impeachment articles advanced by the committee accuses the secretary of a "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" for failing to detain all migrants not clearly allowed in the country, and instead creating an illegal "catch and release" scheme.
