House Republicans scheduled a first vote for Tuesday on articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. 

GOP lawmakers have been particularly offput by Mayorkas’ demeanor in testimony to congressional panels, where he has responded to questions by telling committee members they don’t understand the complexities of the immigration system.

“You are so profoundly disrespecting my 22 years of government service,” Mayorkas told GOP Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in one exchange.

“I believe he must be impeached. There is no single person who has done more damage to our national security than him. It’s time for him to go,” said Rep. Kat Cammack. R-Fla. Read Full Story

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday cautioned lawmakers against agreeing to a deal on border policy amid negotiations on a spending deal unless Republicans got everything needed to shut down the flow of migrants into the U.S., potentially complicating efforts to reach a bipartisan compromise in Congress. 

“I do not think we should do a Border Deal, at all, unless we get EVERYTHING needed to shut down the INVASION of Millions & Millions of people, many from parts unknown, into our once great, but soon to be great again, Country!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
