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

House Republicans are working to convince key holdouts to support the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green has outlined a five-phase investigation into Mayorkas and his handling of the border, accompanied by a preliminary report and a hearing focused on framing Mayorkas’ “dereliction of duty,” which starts a roughly three-month countdown for House Republican leadership and their allies to get the House GOP conference in alignment. However, some Republican members on the Judiciary Committee are not sold on the idea, and legal experts have thrown cold water on the Republican basis for impeaching Mayorkas, arguing that it appears to be over political disagreements and doesn’t rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors.
