cbs' astrid martinez joins us from new york with the details on how this unfolded. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the articles of impeachment against alejandro mayorkas passed on tuesday with a 214-213 vote with the majority made up of only republicans. three republicans did vote with democrats against impeachment, but this historic move has been criticized by some republicans and many democrats as based on policy disagreements, not accusations of specific crimes. >> the resolution is adopted. [ applause ] >> reporter: by a margin of just one vote, house republicans impeached homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas. >> our conference is willing to hold the biden administration accountable especially when the secretary of homeland security is violating our federal immigration laws. >> reporter: house republicans allege that mayorkas committed high crimes and misdemeanors by not enforcing immigration laws. u.s. border officials encountered nearly 2.5 million migrants last fiscal year alone, a record high.

in a statement, president biden called the house vote a, quote, blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship. >> the shortcomings republicans complain about are because they won't give him additional legislation to better secure the border. >> reporter: at the white house yesterday, the president pushed the house to take up a senate-passed aid package that would give $95 billion to israel, taiwan, and ukraine. >> history is watching. failure to support ukraine at this critical moment will never be forgotten. >> reporter: but republican house speaker mike johnson has indicated he's in no hurry to bring up the legislation for a vote in his chamber. meanwhile, the democrat-controlled u.s. senate is expected to begin the impeachment trial for secretary mayorkas before the end of the month, though the body is not trial convict and remove him from office. now house republicans have been accused of acting in bad faith in the impeachment, especially after coming out against the bipartisan deal that would have imposed the toughest asylum and

border policies in decades. anne-marie? >> astrid martinez in new york. thank you. cbs news is projecting that tom suozzi has won a special election in new york to replace expelled congressman george santos. he defeated legislator mazi pilip to fill the remaining 11 months of santos' term.
