House Republicans impeach Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas

House Republicans on Tuesday impeached Homeland Security Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas, the second time in American history that a Cabinet
member has been impeached.

By a final tally of 214-213, the House approved two articles of
impeachment against Mayorkas, alleging that he intentionally violated
federal immigration laws and blocked congressional oversight of the
Homeland Security Department.

Mayorkas will now face trial in the Democrat-controlled Senate where
it is all but certain he will be acquitted.

"History will not look kindly on House Republicans for their blatant
act of unconstitutional partisanship that has targeted an honorable
public servant in order to play petty political games," President Joe
Biden said in a statement following the vote.
