DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas travels to southern border as Republicans call for his impeachment
Mayorkas made a stop in El Paso, Texas, to meet with U.S. Customs and Border Protection as he faces a possible impeachment

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas visited with U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents at the U.S.-Mexico border in El Paso, Texas, on Tuesday, just as 20 House Republicans pushed to have him impeached.
GOP lawmakers have accused Mayorkas of not taking the crisis at the border seriously, with one lawmaker, Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona, accusing him of releasing more than 1 million illegal immigrants into the country, never to be heard from again.
Despite opposition, Mayorkas’ visit puts him a step ahead of President Biden, who has yet to visit the southern border.
Earlier this month, Biden visited Arizona but did not have plans to stop at the border because he said "there are more important things going on."
The president has made 59 trips to Delaware during the first two years of his four-year term.
