House to Send Mayorkas Impeachment Charges to Senate on April 10

The move, marking a rare action against a sitting Cabinet official, comes amid sharp divisions over Secretary Mayorkas's handling of U.S. border policy.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced the House will send two impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate on April 10, following a narrow House vote to impeach.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has yet to outline how the Senate will proceed, with options including a full trial, immediate dismissal, or referral to a special committee.
The Department of Homeland Security has denounced the impeachment as "baseless and unconstitutional," defending Mayorkas's tenure and policy decisions.
Republicans accuse Mayorkas of failing to enforce immigration laws and misleading Congress, while Democrats and some experts argue his policies are within legal bounds.
The Senate's handling of the impeachment articles will be closely watched, as it requires a two-thirds majority to convict and remove Mayorkas from office.
