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.
