Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas faced an impeachment vote in the House, resulting in a 215-215 tie.

The impeachment effort by Republicans did not succeed due to the absence of their majority leader and defection of four GOP members.

Democratic Representative Al Green made a pivotal appearance in a wheelchair to vote, underscoring the intense nature of the session.

Green defended Mayorkas' integrity and cited legal constraints on his role as factors mitigating the impeachment justification.

Speaker Mike Johnson anticipates a successful impeachment vote in the future when more Republicans are available to participate.

Internal divisions within the Republican Party are influencing the US government's operations and its political dynamics.
