Biden homeland security chief survives US House impeachment vote

Description

US President Joe Biden's immigration chief escapes impeachment over the border crisis by a razor-thin margin, in a show of support that left House Republicans two votes short of the total they needed to force a Senate trial. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has long been in Republicans' crosshairs over what they describe as a humanitarian crisis, with record numbers of mainly South and Central Americans trying to enter the United States from neighboring Mexico.
