In a rare move, House Republicans are considering the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as he heads to the southern border today. This action comes amidst a surge of migrants overwhelming already stretched resources. Mayorkas would only be the second cabinet secretary in the past two centuries to face impeachment, marking a significant shift for House Republicans who had previously been targeting President Biden for potential impeachment.
The border crisis has become a major campaign issue and House Republicans see Mayorkas as an easier target than the President. However, with their razor-thin majority in the House, it remains to be seen whether key swing district members will support this endeavor.
