House Republicans plot swift impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas as moderates signal support

House Republicans are planning to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the recent surge of migrant crossings at the southern border. This move represents a shift for the House GOP, who initially focused on potentially impeaching President Joe Biden. However, with the Biden probe moving slowly and some Republicans skeptical about impeaching the president, targeting Mayorkas is seen as an easier option. The plan is to run the impeachment effort through the House Homeland Security Committee, which has jurisdiction over border security issues. Republicans believe that impeaching Mayorkas will be an effective campaign issue in the upcoming elections.
