House Votes to Defund DHS Secretary Mayorkas Amid Border Crisis Controversy

Republicans push amendments to strip Mayorkas' salary over handling of immigration policies, with one proposal reducing his pay to $1.

The House passed an amendment to defund Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' office, with 193 Republicans in favor and 172 Democrats opposed.
A separate amendment by Marjorie Taylor Greene to reduce Mayorkas' salary to $1 failed to pass.
Mayorkas was impeached by the House in February for his handling of the border crisis, but the Senate did not convict him.
The amendments are part of a broader DHS funding bill, which includes provisions to complete the border wall and restrict immigration-related spending.
The Senate is expected to challenge the House amendments, setting up a potential spending battle.
