The House voted Monday to parry an effort to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, following months of criticism from conservatives over Biden administration border policies.
The 209-201 vote sent the resolution from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., to the Homeland Security Committee. Democrats voted uniformly to back the motion to refer the Mayorkas resolution to the committee, along with eight Republicans.
Last week, Greene offered the privileged resolution in a way that required the House to vote on impeaching Mayorkas within a few days, and Democrats responded with the the motion.
