The Republican-led House impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over what they say is his failure to enforce immigration law at the southern border.
It’s just the second time in U.S. history a Cabinet official has been impeached, after William Belknap in 1876.
Mayorkas will now face a trial in the Democrat-controlled Senate, where a two-thirds majority vote will be needed to convict and remove him from office.

Well it’s about damn time 🎉
About time!
At least 3 years too late, yet it's not over but nope nothing will happen.
You can't impeach anyone because they won't let you have it all your way, so this stunt is 100% invalid and will in time be reversed.
About time
Good bye 👋
Not like we don't have multiple clips of him and EVERYONE ELSE in this administration $AYING """ the border is secure ''?
Impeachment for Mayorkas!
25th amendment for old uncle Joey!
About freaking time.
Senate has final Say. It will not pass
But couldn't vote for Trumps blatant criminal behavior.
Impeach the house of representatives and congress. They're all functionally useless.
Gas Lighting and Lie Culture have become the norm for grown men and women in power. It is like its puberty and the teens are rebelling.
Do not tell the Republicans how many folks snuck across the border while trump was in office.
Mayorkas used the asylum program to undermine and circumvent constitution’s immigration and naturalization act which is the supreme law . Any attempt to negate the supreme law is an act of treason and illegal. Mayorkas is the reason America has millions of of illegal migrants roaming on city streets
Good. On to Biden.
Yall really need to stop saying “Republicans”. It’s “American Nazi Party”
Now jail him and fine him for incompetence and wasting resources and time
When Biden impeached Trump it was okay, but now they get the same treatment and its wrong?
😂
About time.
This is why people don't trust the lying media anymore
Trump stated publicly before he became president that if you crossed the border illegally you would be deported therefore less people came. Biden stated publicly before he was elected that if you can find your way to the border you would be welcomed and he reinstated catch and release therefore causing more to come. In november voters will decide boths outcome
Remember that one time they impeached trump, yeah me too 😂😂😂😂
Kind of like trumps impeachment. Political stunt.
👍
NEWS FLASH…Government is sold out, ALL mainstream corporate media is owned and spews out false narratives. WAKE UP AND TURN OFF THE BOOB TUBE…….
🤣🤣🤣👍. This was a great day for the Conservatives and the American people!
Why is Biden not impeached, Biden is ultimately guilty.
It's about time the republicans finally got together to do something for the country. It's obvious that Mayorkas is a puppet for Bran-don, who is literally trying to destroy America. More people have come into the US in the last 2 years, ILLEGALLY, than passed through Ellis Island over 15 years. Crime way up. Keep defunding the police, that's a good idea….
This guy should be charged with treason.
Impeach that Enemy of the State😡
He needs to be in jail
Put him in jail! Traitor
