The US House has rejected the impeachment against the Secretary of the Interior, Alejandro Mayorkas, accused by Republicans of having refused to respect the law and of having violated public trust in managing the waves of migrants on the border between the USA and Mexico.
The impeachment nom passed by very few votes, 216 against2014.
If 'yes' had prevailed, it would have been the first American minister impeached in nearly 150 years, since Secretary of War William Belknap in 1876.
