In an unprecedented move, House leaders have officially scheduled a vote for the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The vote is set to take place next week, either on Tuesday or Wednesday, marking a significant step forward for Republicans seeking to remove Mayorkas from his position. This decision to pursue impeachment is a rarity in U.S. history, as it has not occurred in 148 years.
The impeachment process against Mayorkas has been initiated by Republicans who hold concerns over his leadership and actions within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). While the exact reasons for impeachment have not been explicitly stated, there have been ongoing debates and criticisms over various policies and decisions made by Mayorkas since assuming his role earlier this year.
