House impeaches Alejandro Mayorkas, first Cabinet secretary to be impeached  in almost 150 years | CNN Politics

House Impeaches Mayorkas

Fox News reported House Republicans led a second impeachment vote against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the ongoing illegal immigrant crisis at the U.S. border, accusing him of exacerbating the situation. Despite a narrow 214-213 vote in favor, three Republicans opposed impeachment, concerned about setting a precedent. House Speaker Mike Johnson defended the move, emphasizing Mayorkas's significant impact on the issue. The Democrat-controlled Senate is unlikely to proceed with impeachment. The Department of Homeland Security criticized the effort as baseless and urged focus on bipartisan solutions for border security.
