House planning to send Mayorkas impeachment articles to Senate on Tuesday

The House will formally send the impeachment articles against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate on Tuesday, Just the News has learned. 

The GOP-led House voted to impeach Mayorkas in mid-February over his handling of the southern border as migrant encounters continue to set records. 

The articles allege a "breach of trust" related to Mayorkas describing the southern border as secure as well as a "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law."

The speaker's office confirmed that the impeachment articles will be sent around 2pm on Tuesday.
