"House Impeaches DHS Secretary Mayorkas Over Border Crisis"

The GOP-led House has voted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, making him the first Cabinet secretary to be impeached in nearly 150 years. Three Republicans voted with Democrats against the measure. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is unlikely to spend much time on the impeachment trial, and it is highly unlikely that Mayorkas will be charged in the Democratic-controlled Senate. House Republicans claim Mayorkas has committed high crimes and misdemeanors for his handling of the southern border, while Democrats view the impeachment as blatantly political and are weighing how to respond. President Joe Biden slammed the vote as a "blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship" and called on Congress to pass legislation to address the situation at the border.
