Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene forcing another House vote on Alejandro Mayorkas impeachment

Washington — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is trying for a second time this month to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border, with the House set to consider a Democratic-led bid to kill the effort on Thursday. 

Greene, a Georgia Republican, introduced her latest resolution to impeach Mayorkas on Wednesday as "privileged," setting a two-day deadline for the House to act on it. 

House lawmakers blocked her previous effort to impeach Mayorkas earlier in November, instead voting to refer the resolution to the Homeland Security Committee, effectively killing it. Eight Republicans voted with all Democrats to send the motion to the committee, which is investigating Mayorkas for his handling of the situation at the border.
