Deep dives
The Impeachment of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas
In a narrow vote along party lines, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas was impeached by the Republicans in the House. While the impeachment is unlikely to lead to his conviction in the Senate, it serves two purposes for Republicans. Firstly, it highlights the Biden administration's failure to enforce immigration laws, particularly at the southern border. Secondly, it establishes a precedent that impeachment should be used consistently and only for high crimes and misdemeanors. Although Mayorkas is accused of a border policy that is damaging to national security, the impeachment lacks a clear criminal charge. Nonetheless, the Republicans' goal is to restore the traditional definition and purpose of impeachment.
