Fox News Digital has reached out to Green's office.
The vote was 216-214. Lawmakers voted on a resolution combining two articles of impeachment accusing Mayorkas of having "refused to comply with Federal immigration laws" and the other of having violated "public trust."
They were Reps. Tom McClintock, R-Calif.; Ken Buck, R-Colo.; and Mike Gallagher, R-Wis. The lawmakers said while they disapproved of the job Mayorkas is doing at the southern border, the threshold for impeachment had not been met, and warned it could be used against future Republican administrations.
