Mayorkas impeachment articles approved by committee, setting up full House vote
Fox News
The House Homeland Security Committee approved two articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, setting up a floor vote in the coming weeks.
The vote came after a lengthy, and at times, fiery hearing in which Republicans outlined their case for why Mayorkas should be removed from office for allegedly mishandling the crisis at the southern border and Democrats accused Republicans of debasing the impeachment process for political purposes.

"Today is a grave day," Chairman Mark Green said. "We have not approached this day or this process lightly. Secretary Mayorkas’s actions have forced our hand. We cannot allow this border crisis to continue."
