Going after an official for a policy dispute, in this instance over the claim that Mr. Mayorkas is not upholding immigration laws, is unprecedented. Ever since taking control of the House in 2023, Republicans have pushed to impeach Mr. Mayorkas. But Republicans have moved with rapid speed against Mr. Mayorkas after a series of hearings in recent weeks. The Republican-controlled House Homeland Security Committee is set to vote Tuesday on the articles of impeachment, aiming to send them to the full House for consideration. The GOP push also comes at a curious time for Mr. Mayorkas.
