TL;DR Summary

House Republicans are working to secure enough support within their caucus to pass a bill to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, with two confirmed "no" votes and several undecided Republicans. Allegations against Mayorkas include intentional disobedience of federal immigration laws and obstruction of Homeland Security Department oversight. If impeached, Mayorkas would face a trial in the Democrat-controlled Senate, where a two-thirds majority for removal is unlikely. President Biden has criticized the impeachment effort as a political stunt and urged Congress to address challenges through legislation, while awaiting the passage of a bipartisan border security bill.
