TL;DR Summary

The House is set to vote for a second time on the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas after a failed attempt last week, with Republicans claiming he should be charged for not enforcing immigration laws. Mayorkas and Democrats argue it's a matter of policy differences and that Congress needs to fix the broken immigration system. The Department of Homeland Security has called the impeachment push "pointless," "unconstitutional," and "baseless." The vote comes amid a special election in New York's third congressional district, which could further narrow the House's Republican majority, and as Republican leaders aim to secure the necessary votes for impeachment.
