The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday is expected to vote on whether to impeach President Joe Biden’s top border official,
accusing him of encouraging the record number of people who are entering the country illegally.
The House last week approved two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a near-unprecedented step to take against a member of a president’s cabinet over a policy dispute.
With a narrow 219-212 majority, Republicans will need near unanimity to pass the measures, though even if they do the Democratic-majority Senate is all but certain to acquit Mayorkas.
