House Republicans are set to present their case against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate this week, following his impeachment by the Republican-controlled House two months ago. This marks the third time in five years that senators will serve as jurors in an impeachment trial.
The House impeached Mayorkas on February 13 by a narrow margin, accusing him of mishandling the U.S.-Mexico border. The charges include allegations that Mayorkas deliberately failed to enforce immigration laws and misled Congress by claiming the border was secure.
