• The Department of Homeland Security said Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has no plans to step down after Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) called for him to resign and threatened that a Republican-led House may impeach him next year if he doesn’t.

McCarthy made the announcement at the southern border Tuesday in an apparent bid to woo conservative GOP caucus members whose votes he needs to become speaker.
