House Republicans are expected to formally present their articles of impeachment against Alejandro Mayorkas, the homeland security secretary, to the Senate, part of the party's attempt to force an election-year showdown with the Biden administration over immigration and border security.
Democrats control the Senate and plan to quickly dispense with the articles, arguing that the impeachment amounts to little more than a policy dispute with the administration.
Eleven Republican impeachment managers will transmit the articles to the Senate, focusing on Mayorkas's 'willful and systemic refusal to enforce border policies and a breach of public trust.'
House Speaker Mike Johnson and the Republican impeachment managers wrote to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, calling for a full trial to ensure accountability for border security.
