The House of Representatives has passed an amendment to defund the office of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. This move follows the impeachment of Mayorkas earlier this year, with lawmakers arguing that he should not receive taxpayer money. The amendment, sponsored by Rep. Andy Biggs, aims to cut Mayorkas' salary to zero. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and other lawmakers have expressed strong support for this measure, citing concerns over Mayorkas' handling of border policies. Rep. Ogles successfully passed an amendment to cut $10 million from Mayorkas' budget. Rep. Brecheen also voted for an amendment to cut Mayorkas' salary to zero. However, the amendment faced opposition from some Republicans, including Rep. Maria Salazar, who voted against it.
