Senate Rejects Mayorkas Impeachment Trial

The Senate dismissed impeachment articles against DHS Secretary Mayorkas before the trial began, with a party-line vote declaring the articles unconstitutional. Republicans objected to a trial and pushed for a vote on the constitutionality of the articles, which focused on Mayorkas' alleged refusal to comply with the law and breach of trust regarding border security. The Senate ultimately decided that the articles did not constitute high crimes or misdemeanors, ending the debate over whether a trial should take place.
