Amid heightened tensions over the US-Mexico border, the US House Homeland Security Committee, led by Chairman Mark Green, has initiated impeachment proceedings against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The committee's two articles of impeachment focus on Mayorkas' handling of migrant issues, particularly criticizing his family reunification parole programs. Despite committee approval, the impeachment faces significant hurdles, requiring House majority and Democrat-dominated Senate approval. Mayorkas, backed by the Democratic Party, continues negotiations for a bipartisan border policy deal. The Department of Homeland Security and Democrats argue that Mayorkas is working with limited funding and outdated immigration policies, emphasizing the complexity of the issue. The impeachment proceedings coincide with stalled border policy negotiations between the White House and Congress, highlighting deep partisan divides on immigration strategies. Mayorkas' fate hangs in the balance, reflecting the broader discord over US immigration policies.
