Deep dives
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas impeached
House Republicans have successfully impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, making him the second Cabinet Secretary in US history to be impeached. The resolution was passed by a narrow margin of 2-14 to 2-13. The impeachment is a result of Mayorkas' alleged failure to secure the border amidst an unprecedented immigration crisis. Republicans accuse Mayorkas of willful non-compliance with the law and lying about the border's security, while Democrats dismiss the impeachment as a political stunt.
