"Inside the Mayorkas Impeachment Trial and Conservative Group's $15M Attack on Tester's Immigration Record"

TL;DR Summary
The Senate is set to begin an impeachment trial for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas this week, marking the first such trial in nearly 150 years. Republicans accuse Mayorkas of violating immigration and border security laws and making false statements under oath, while Democrats argue it's a policy disagreement. Even if a trial occurs, it's unlikely Mayorkas will be convicted or removed from his position, as it would require a two-thirds vote in the Democrat-controlled Senate. The issue of immigration and border security is also becoming a prominent topic as both political parties hit the campaign trail.
