Republican Impeachment Of Biden's Border Chief Faces Senate Hurdles

U.S. House of Representatives holds vote to impeach U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in Washington

Republicans in the United States are moving forward with the impeachment of President Biden's border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas. The impeachment process, which began in the House of Representatives, may face a swift end in the Senate.

The impeachment proceedings are centered around the handling of migration issues at the US-Mexico border. Republicans have criticized Mayorkas for his approach to border security and immigration policies, accusing him of failing to address the surge in migrants crossing into the country.

Despite the efforts to impeach Mayorkas, the process is likely to encounter challenges in the Senate, where Democrats hold a narrow majority. It remains uncertain whether there will be enough support to convict Mayorkas and remove him from office.
