House Republicans Fail To Impeach DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
The US House of Representatives rejected an impeachment effort against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The final vote was 214 to 216, with a tie broken by a “no” vote from Rep. Blake Moore (R-Utah). The Republicans had accused Mayorkas of refusing to comply with immigration laws and breaching public trust, though no evidence of any crimes or impeachable offenses was provided. The impeachment attempt was largely seen as a political maneuver to boost Donald Trump’s stance on border issues ahead of the presidential election. Republicans critical of the move described it as a distortion of the Constitution, arguing that Mayorkas was being attacked for policies the GOP disagreed with, not for criminal behavior.
