House committee holds first Mayorkas impeachment hearing: Watch live

The House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday morning is slated to hold its first impeachment hearing for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Mayorkas has been at the center of the GOP fury with the Biden administration’s handling of the border, which has seen record monthly numbers of illegal crossings.

A memo released by Department of Homeland Security ahead of the House hearing cast the impeachment effort as a “baseless and pointless political attack.”

The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EST.
