The U.S. House is set to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over border security concerns, marking a rare and highly divisive attack on a Cabinet official. This move has drawn criticism from constitutional scholars and Democrats who argue that the charges brought against Mayorkas are baseless and do not warrant impeachment.
According to Republicans in the House, Mayorkas has 'refused to comply' with immigration laws, resulting in a record surge of immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. They claim that he has breached the public trust through his actions and comments. The House vote on the impeachment charges is scheduled for Tuesday.
