All 18 Republican members of the House Committee on Homeland Security voted on Jan. 31, after more than 14 hours of often impassioned debate, to refer two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the full House for a final vote; the panel’s 15 Democrats unanimously opposed the measure.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) has said that he expects the impeachment measure to be voted on by the House of Representatives “as soon as possible.”
