Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-Okla.) is standing by the impeachment case against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, even as the Democrat-controlled Senate appears poised to quickly dismiss the case.

The Republican-controlled House of Representatives impeached Mr. Mayorkas in February on two articles alleging he has engaged in a “willful and systemic refusal to comply with” U.S. immigration law and has breached the public trust by lying about the state of U.S. border security and hindering congressional investigations on the topic.
