TL;DR Summary

House Republicans have released two articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, accusing him of "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" and a "breach of public trust" over the administration's handling of the U.S.-Mexico border. The move has been criticized by Democrats and the Department of Homeland Security as a "baseless" political attack, and even if the GOP-controlled House impeaches Mayorkas, it's highly unlikely that he would be convicted in a trial in the Senate, which has a Democratic majority.
