"Fast-Track Mayorkas Impeachment Trial Looms in Senate"

TL;DR Summary
House Republicans are set to bring their case against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate this week, but the trial may be over before it starts as Democrats, who hold the majority, are expected to have the votes to dismiss the charges. The impeachment stems from Mayorkas' handling of the U.S.-Mexico border, with Republicans accusing him of willfully refusing to enforce immigration laws and breaching public trust. If the trial proceeds, senators would be sworn in as jurors, and the Senate could either dismiss the charges or move to a trial, potentially forming a trial committee to investigate the charges.
