House Republicans taking a key vote toward impeaching

Mayorkas as border becomes 2024 campaign issue

WASHINGTON (AP) — House
Republicans are ready to take
a key vote Tuesday toward
impeaching Homeland Se-
curity Secretary Alejandro
Mayorkas over what they call
his “willful and systematic”
refusal to enforce immigra-
tion laws as border security
becomes a top 2024 elec-
tion issue.
The Homeland Security Com-
mittee is pushing through a
day-long hearing on two
articles of impeachment
against Mayorkas, a rare
charge against a Cabinet
official unseen in nearly 150
years, as Republicans make
GOP presidential front-runner
Donald Trump’s hard-line
deportation approach to
immigration their own.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testifies on Capitol Hill, Nov. 8, 2023, in Washington.
