Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas looks up during a Senate Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee hearing on the department's budget request on Capitol Hill in Washington, May 26, 2021.
The House of Representatives will hold a key vote Monday on whether to move forward with a Republican-backed motion to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
The vote comes as the House scrambles to negotiate a new budget resolution to avoid a government shutdown.
On Monday, House lawmakers are expected to vote on a Democratic procedural effort to derail the Mayorkas impeachment.
But the House vote comes amid a separate internal debate among Republicans over whether to move forward with the impeachment of a much bigger target: President Joe Biden.
