The Republican-led House Rules Committee on Monday voted 8-4 to send an impeachment case against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the full chamber for a vote. 

A vote on the articles of impeachment in the House – which Republicans hold by a slim margin – could come as early as Tuesday.  

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is expected to face a House impeachment vote

The secretary has called the Republican charges against him “politically motivated and completely baseless,” pointing to constitutional scholars who have weighed in with similar assessments. He said if it comes to a trial in the Senate, which generally follows an impeachment vote, he’s prepared to defend himself.
