House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will travel this week to the U.S. southern border with freshmen GOP lawmakers as Republicans continue to hammer the Biden administration on immigration and security.
The trip to the southern border marks McCarthy’s first as speaker and follows growing GOP calls for the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, for whom Republicans have blamed for the administration’s border policies and the increasing number of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.
McCarthy hasn’t ruled out impeachment and has previously threatened an investigation into Mayorkas to determine whether an impeachment inquiry should be opened.
