Three Republicans voted against impeaching Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas Tuesday night as the House successfully impeached the border chief.
Three Republican lawmakers voted against impeaching Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas Tuesday night as the House of Representatives successfully impeached the border chief over his mishandling of the illegal immigration crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. Reps. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., Ken Buck, R-Colo., and Tom McClintock, R-Calif., bucked their party to side with Democrats in opposing Mayorkas' impeachment.
House Republicans have accused Mayorkas of ignoring existing immigration law and worsening the situation at the Southern Border. The three Republicans who voted against impeachment on Tuesday have criticized Mayorkas' handling of the border but expressed reservations over whether it rose to the level of impeachment. McClintock warned it could set a precedent for political impeachments that could harm Republican officials in the future.
Two impeachment articles were approved against Mayorkas by the House Homeland Security Committee: one alleging he 'refused to comply with Federal immigration laws' and the other alleging he violated 'public trust.' The Department of Homeland Security criticized House Republicans for holding a second Mayorkas impeachment vote on Tuesday, pointing to comments by GOP lawmakers who have called the effort a waste of time.
