House Republicans Impeach Mayorkas Over Border; Narrow Majority After NY Dem Win
-
House Republicans impeached homeland security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border.
-
Mayorkas is the first cabinet secretary to be impeached in 150 years. A Senate trial is unlikely to result in his removal.
-
President Biden criticized Republicans, calling the impeachment a "blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship."
-
Democrat Tom Suozzi won a special election in New York, defeating Republican Mazi Pilip for George Santos' former seat.
-
The Democratic win narrows the GOP's razor-thin majority in the House to just three seats.
