Ever since taking control of the House in 2023, Republicans have pushed to impeach Mayorkas. House Republicans have released two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Majorkas on Sunday. The Republican-controlled House Homeland Security Committee is set to vote Tuesday on the articles of impeachment, aiming to send them to the full House for consideration. Democrats say Republicans have held a sham of an impeachment process against Mayorkas and lack the constitutional grounds to impeach the secretary. The last Cabinet secretary to be impeached was William Belknap, the war secretary under President Ulysses Grant, over corruption issues.
