US House of Representatives votes to impeach Mayorkas. Republicans accuse the Cuban-born minister of deliberately and systematically refusing to comply with applicable law.
The Democrats, on the other hand, accuse the Republicans of a purely party-politically motivated maneuver. The issue of migration has been a major point of contention between Democrats and Republicans for years and is also playing a major role in the current presidential election campaign. The Department of Homeland Security, the White House and Democratic leaders in the House and Senate sharply criticized the vote as a political stunt.
