The Republicans will try on Tuesday February 6 to indict Alejandro Mayorkas, Joe Biden's immigration minister. They accuse him of having caused a migration crisis at the border between the United States and Mexico.
The last indictment of a minister by Congress dates back to... 1876. Immigration has emerged as one of the key issues in the campaign for the November presidential election, which will in all likelihood pit President Joe Biden against his Republican rival Donald Trump. In any case, the US Senate is currently in the hands of the Democrats, which makes a dismissal of the minister very unlikely.
