TL;DR Summary

Senate Democrats plan to swiftly dismiss the impeachment trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas before arguments begin, frustrating Republicans who demand a full trial. The House narrowly voted to impeach Mayorkas for his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border, but Democrats argue that the GOP case doesn't meet the constitutional bar for impeachment. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is expected to call for votes to dismiss the articles of impeachment, and Democrats appear united in opposition to moving forward. If the trial proceeds, it would be the third impeachment trial in five years, following the impeachments of President Donald Trump.
