"House Republicans' Impeachment Attempt Against DHS Secretary Mayorkas Fails in Stunning Upset"

TL;DR
House Republicans' attempt to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas failed in a 214-216 vote, with four Republicans defecting. The articles of impeachment accused Mayorkas of "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" and "breach of public trust" amid a surge in unauthorized migrant crossings. The White House and DHS called the impeachment baseless and politically motivated. The vote coincides with a debate over a bipartisan immigration bill, which House Republican leaders have deemed dead on arrival if it passes the Senate.
