"House Sends Mayorkas Impeachment Articles to Senate After GOP-Led Hearing"

House Republicans are set to deliver articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate, making him the first cabinet official to be formally impeached in 150 years. Democrats control the Senate and are expected to vote to acquit Mayorkas, arguing that the impeachment articles are flawed and based on policy disagreements. The process could become messy as both parties have procedural tools at their disposal, with Republicans demanding a Senate trial and Democrats aiming to resolve the issue quickly. Legal experts have criticized the impeachment articles as weak and lacking evidence, while the border remains a focal point of the election-year dispute.
