The House voted Tuesday to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for mismanagement of the border, making him the first-ever sitting Cabinet secretary to be stained with impeachment.
Republicans said they felt compelled to act amid the unprecedented chaos in the country’s immigration system, where the latest data shows the U.S. is adding more than two million unauthorized immigrants a year to its population, most of them jumping the southern border.
The 214-213 vote saw three Republicans join Democrats, who voted in unison against impeachment.
The case now goes to the Senate, where both Republicans and Democrats say it’s dead on arrival and the only question is whether senators will derail it even without a full trial.
