Senators are gearing up for the impeachment trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who was impeached by the Republican-controlled House over his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border. The House charged Mayorkas with willfully refusing to enforce immigration laws and lying to Congress about border security.
Despite the impeachment, Senate leaders are showing little interest in spending much time on the matter. Democrats argue that the charges are more of a policy dispute rather than meeting the constitutional threshold for impeachment.
