GOP defections and an unexpected appearance by a Democratic lawmaker saved Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas from impeachment last week.
Late Tuesday night, the U.S. House voted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas with a party line, razor-thin vote.
The surprise retirement of a GOP congressman in a solidly Republican Wisconsin congressional district has potential candidates weighing a run, even as a former state lawmaker quickly jumped into the race.
Republicans targeted Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Alejandro Mayorkas is in the crosshairs of House Republicans due to what they call his "willful and systematic" refusal to enforce immigration laws.
The visit came as migrants are crossing the border in record numbers and Congress has been unable to reach a consensus on funding border security.
The visit is his first to the U.S.-Mexico border as president.
