The House of Representatives will hold a vote to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas “as soon as possible” after the chamber reconvenes next week, according to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.).

“When we return next week, by necessity, the Homeland Security Committee will move forward with Articles of Impeachment against Secretary Mayorkas. A vote on the floor will be held as soon as possible thereafter,” the speaker wrote in a Jan. 26 letter to his Republican colleagues obtained by Punchbowl News.
