"House GOP's Impeachment Effort Against Mayorkas Sparks Political Battle Over Immigration Powers"

TL;DR Summary
House Republicans have moved to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, accusing him of failing to enforce immigration statutes. However, constitutional scholars and past secretaries of homeland security argue that his actions do not constitute high crimes and misdemeanors, the standard for impeachment. The government has broad authority over immigration enforcement, and Mayorkas has the legal discretion to prioritize which migrants to detain given limited resources and court backlogs.
