Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, 64, was impeached in February by the Republican-majority House of Representatives.

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.

The White House welcomed the move, saying the Senate has “rightly voted down this baseless impeachment.” The US president, vice president, cabinet ministers and federal judges can be impeached for treason, bribery, and “other high crimes and misdemeanors.” Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had pledged to do everything possible to quickly squelch the impeachment proceedings.
