House votes to impeach Mayorkas, a historic rebuke of sitting Cabinet member by Republicans
By the slimmest of majorities, the chamber rebuked the Homeland Security secretary over his handling of U.S. border policy. Critics say the charges against him are overkill.
The House had initially launched an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden over his son’s business dealings, but instead turned its attention to Mayorkas after Trump ally Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia pushed the debate forward following the panel’s months-long investigation. Never before has a sitting Cabinet secretary been impeached, and it was nearly 150 years ago that the House voted to impeach President Ulysses S. Grant’s secretary of war, William Belknap, over a kickback scheme in government contracts. He resigned before the vote.
“We always explore what options are available to us that are permissible under the law,” Mayorkas said.
