By The FirstThe House voted to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas Tuesday night for his flat-out refusal to enforce US immigration law at the southern border.
The final vote was 214 to 213.
From Fox News:
Three Republican lawmakers voted against impeaching Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas Tuesday night as the House of Representatives successfully impeached the border chief over his mishandling of the illegal immigration crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Reps. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., Ken Buck, R-Colo., and Tom McClintock, R-Calif., bucked their party to side with Democrats in opposing Mayorkas’ impeachment.
This is the first time a Cabinet secretary has been impeached by the U.S. Congress since 1876.
The 214-213 vote comes after Mayorkas narrowly defeated impeachment last week when every House Democrat showed up to protect him, including Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, who temporarily left the hospital where he was recovering from surgery to cast his vote.
