The Republican-controlled House voted Tuesday to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the Biden administration’s handling of the U.S.-Mexico border.
The vote marks the first time in nearly 150 years that a Cabinet secretary has been impeached.
House Republicans have spent months investigating the secretary’s actions as they’ve aimed to make immigration and border security a key election issue.
It goes to the Senate for “trial” to vote on removing Mayorkas from office.
