House Votes To Impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was impeached by one vote in the House this evening, making him the first sitting cabinet member to face such a process of removal.

The vote was 214-213. House Republicans failed in their efforts last week to Mayorkas, largely over the way that he has handled the crisis at the southern border.

Mayorkas now faces a Senate trial, where he expected to survive given Democratic control.

More to come.
