"House Republicans Push Impeachment Effort Against DHS Secretary Amid Border Battle"

House Republicans have voted to move toward impeaching homeland security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, accusing him of a "willful and systematic" refusal to enforce immigration laws. The partisan showdown reflects Republicans' efforts to align with Donald Trump's hard-line deportation approach to immigration. Mayorkas has dismissed the impeachment process as "politically motivated," while Democrats argue that Republicans are rushing to oust a cabinet official without evidence of wrongdoing. The resolution will likely fail in the Senate, where Democrats hold a majority. The move comes amid Republican criticism of a bipartisan border deal brokered by the Biden administration, with both sides accusing each other of playing politics over the issue of border security.
