House Republicans are intensifying their efforts to hold the administration accountable for the ongoing chaos at the southern border. Over the weekend, a House committee released two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Mike Johnson, the Speaker, has expressed his intention to hold a House-wide vote on these articles as soon as possible.
Mark Green, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, stated that after exhausting all other options, it is clear that Congress must exercise its constitutional duty and impeach Mayorkas. He, along with Johnson, believes that they have enough votes in the House to pass these articles. However, it is likely that the trial, if it proceeds to the Senate, will not result in Mayorkas's conviction.
