Republicans Impeach Homeland Secretary Mayorkas
What A Day
Impeachment of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas
Republicans rushed and impeached Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas for allegedly failing to enforce border laws without presenting any evidence. The vote count was 214-213. Despite being impeached, Mayorkas' daily work won't be disrupted. The impeachment will now move to the Senate for a conviction vote, requiring a two-thirds majority which is unlikely due to the Democratic majority.

Democrat Dan Goldman criticized the GOP's actions as a reflection of their extreme stance.
