Leaders are likely to seek quick dismissal as Mayorkas impeachment moves to the Senate

For the third time in five years, senators will be sworn in as jurors for an impeachment trial. The Republican-controlled House impeached Mayorkas by a single vote margin on Feb. 13, recommending that Mayorkas be removed from office over his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border. With two articles of impeachment, the House charge that Mayorkas has “willfully and systematically” refused to enforce existing immigration laws and breached the public trust by lying to Congress and saying the border was secure.
