House showdown as Republicans try to escalate border and immigration issues

GOP moves forward with efforts to impeach homeland security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as they lambast Biden border deal

A partisan showdown was on display on Tuesday as House Republicans attempted to escalate immigration and border issues on two fronts.

Republicans moved forward with efforts to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas, the homeland security secretary, as they lambasted the border deal recently brokered between the Joe Biden White House and a bipartisan group of senators, in a split-screen that Democrats criticized as hypocritical.
