Republicans approve putting the impeachment charges against Mayorkas to a vote in the full House. All Republicans on the committee voted in favor, while Democrats were united against it.
A decisive vote in plenary is expected in the coming days. If approved, the charges would be referred to the Senate for a trial, although senators could first form a special committee to study the case. In an unusual personal request, Mayork as wrote a letter to the committee in which he noted that he should be working closely with President Joe Biden's administration to update the “ discontinuous and obsolete” immigration laws.
