<p>The GOP-led <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-house-of-representatives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House</a> voted on Wednesday to defund Homeland Security Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alejandro-mayorkas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alejandro Mayorkas</a>, a Biden administration official who was impeached by the lower chamber earlier this year in a rebuke of his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-shatters-record-with-historic-number-of-illegal-aliens-encountered-in-december" target="_blank" rel="noopener">handling of</a> the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/border-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">border crisis</a>.</p>
<p>A group of 193 Republican lawmakers <a href="https://x.com/jamiedupree/status/1806055947992756411" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voted to pass</a> the amendment that Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) sponsored for appropriations legislation that aims to provide <a href="https://appropriations.house.gov/news/statements/amodei-remarks-during-floor-consideration-hr-8752-homeland-security-appropriations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tens of billions of dollars</a> to the Homeland Security Department (DHS) in the next fiscal year.</p>
<p>All voting Democrats, 172 of them, and one Republican opposed the measure. Seventy-two members, including 28 Republicans and 44 Democrats, did not cast a vote on the amendment when it was brought to the House floor.</p>
<p>&#8220;The House just passed my amendment to defund the office of the DHS Secretary,&#8221; Biggs <a href="https://x.com/RepAndyBiggsAZ/status/1806056410687435259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post to X. &#8220;Alejandro Mayorkas — who was impeached earlier this year — doesn&#8217;t deserve a single penny from American taxpayers.&#8221;</p>
<p>Reporter Anthony Adragna underscored it likely faces long odds. &#8220;Similar efforts have been adopted in the past, only to be stripped out as the House and Senate resolve differences between their versions of spending legislation,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/06/26/congress/mayorkas-salary-amendment-00165152" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote for POLITICO</a>.</p>
<p>A different amendment from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), which would have reduced Mayorkas&#8217; salary to $1, <a href="https://x.com/jamiedupree/status/1806056398289051998" target="_blank" rel="noopener">failed</a> to pass. Another of her <a href="https://x.com/RepMTG/status/1806052373221265835" target="_blank" rel="noopener">offerings</a> to block DHS from partnering with the State Department for &#8220;Safe Mobility Offices&#8221; <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">did succeed</a>.</p>

<p>House lawmakers <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-impeaches-mayorkas-in-second-attempt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">approved</a> the impeachment resolution by a 214-213 vote in mid-February, making Mayorkas the first Cabinet secretary to be impeached since 1876. Three Republican lawmakers broke ranks and joined Democrats in opposing it.</p>
<p>The two articles they passed accused Mayorkas of &#8220;willfully and systemically&#8221; refusing to comply with federal immigration laws and alleged he &#8220;breached the public trust&#8221; with false statements and obstructing lawful oversight of DHS.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-house-of-representatives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">However,</a> in April, the Democrat-controlled Senate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-kills-mayorkas-impeachment-articles-without-full-trial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voted</a> to quash the <a href="https://homeland.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Articles-of-Impeachment.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">articles</a> shortly after members of the upper chamber were sworn in as jurors and fought over how to conduct the trial. The impeachment managers did not even have a chance to speak.</p>
<p>Back in January, Mayorkas <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeKhalilTV/status/1752349544925294720" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> he was facing &#8220;false accusations&#8221; that &#8220;do not rattle me and do not divert me from the law enforcement and broader public service mission to which I have devoted most of my career and to which I remain devoted.”</p>
