House GOP intensifies push for Mayorkas impeachment amid accusations of dereliction and cover-up.

House Republicans are working to get the votes they need to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over Biden administration border policies. While some Republicans are skeptical, backers insist they are making progress. The unofficial impeachment whip campaign is playing out in public and behind the scenes, with the Homeland Security Committee formally launching an investigation and the Judiciary Committee planning several hearings. Democrats argue that Republicans are trying to impeach Mayorkas over political differences and that the hearings constitute an impeachment inquiry without labeling it as such to get around divisions within their own conference.
