The House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to block Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’s salary, as part of a larger appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security.
The amendment to withhold the salary was introduced by Rep. Andy Biggs from Arizona, and passed in a 193 to 173 vote, per Fox News. Only one Republican voted against the amendment.
“Taxpayers should not be paying an unelected bureaucrat who was impeached by the House. That’s why I sponsored an amendment to this year’s Homeland Security Appropriations Act to prohibit funding to be used for the salary of DHS Secretary Mayorkas,” Biggs wrote on X before the vote.
