House Republicans approved an amendment to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appropriations bill for fiscal 2025, which prohibits funding for DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas's salary. This measure, led by Rep. Andy Biggs, passed largely along party lines, with 193 Republicans voting in favor and 173 Democrats opposing. The amendment follows Mayorkas's impeachment by the House in February over his handling of the southern border, although the Senate dismissed the articles in April. Another amendment by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to reduce Mayorkas's salary to $1 failed to pass. The DHS appropriations bill, including the Mayorkas amendment, faces significant opposition from Senate Democrats and the White House, making its current form unlikely to become law. Despite this, House Republicans aim to strengthen their position in future funding negotiations.
