WASHINGTON – The Democratic-held US Senate rejected a Republican-led bid on Wednesday to oust President Joe Biden’s immigration chief over his handling of the southern border with Mexico, according to KPVI.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, 64, was impeached in February by the Republican-majority House of Representatives.
Republicans are seeking to make border security a key issue in November’s election and the impeachment came amid a showdown between the House and Senate over curbing a surge in illegal immigration, which hit a record 10,000 apprehensions a day at the US-Mexico border in December.
