TL;DR Summary

House Republicans have sent two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate, triggering a trial.

If the trial proceeds, it would be the third impeachment trial in five years, and could involve weeks of proceedings, including the possibility of calling witnesses.
