The House on Monday voted to refer a resolution to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the House Homeland Security Committee.
The final vote was 209-201, with eight Republicans voting with Democrats.
The move was a late stage shift by Democrats to not try and outright kill the resolution, but allow the committee of jurisdiction to continue their existing investigation.
GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia filed a privileged resolution to impeach Mayorkas last week, forcing GOP leadership to schedule floor action on the measure by Tuesday.
Since retaking the House majority, Republicans have long sought to impeach Mayorkas over his handling of the Department of Homeland Security and the US border with Mexico. Greene’s latest move comes as Republicans have been pushing for stricter border security provisions in any supplemental aid package.
