"Senate Prepares for Mayorkas Impeachment Trial Amid GOP Demand for Full Proceedings"

The Senate will begin the impeachment trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, with Democrats expected to move to dismiss or table the articles, while Republicans aim to prolong the process. Mayorkas is unlikely to be convicted, as no Senate Democrats support impeachment and some moderate Republicans are open to tabling the articles. The trial, presided over by Senate President Pro Tem Patty Murray, could conclude as early as Wednesday evening, with discussions ongoing about the trial process. House GOP impeachment managers accuse Mayorkas of failing to enforce immigration laws and secure the border, as well as lying to Congress, while some senators advocate for a full trial while others suggest referring the articles to a special impeachment committee.
