House Republicans impeach Alejandro Mayorkas in historic vote

The House of Representatives has impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, making it the second time in U.S. History that a Cabinet member has been impeached. Mayorkas is accused of violating immigration laws and obstructing oversight.
Mayorkas will now face trial in the Senate, where a two-thirds majority is needed to convict and remove him from office, which is unlikely to happen given the Democrat-controlled Senate.
The impeachment effort has been criticized as a political move by Republicans, with experts and DHS spokesperson Mia Ehrenberg calling it baseless and unconstitutional.
