A significant number of Senate Republicans are intensifying their efforts to ensure a full impeachment trial for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, emphasizing the constitutional duty of the Senate to try all impeachments. This push comes in the wake of the House of Representatives impeaching Mayorkas on February 13, marking only the second time in history a Cabinet officer has faced such action, for "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" and "breach of public trust." The impeachment centers on allegations of Mayorkas' failure to uphold his oath of office, specifically in relation to managing the U.S. southern border. Critics accuse Mayorkas and the Biden administration of facilitating a crisis at the border, thereby compromising public safety and national security. In response, 43 GOP senators have formally demanded that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer proceed with the trial, highlighting the unprecedented nature of potentially dismissing the impeachment without a trial. This situation underscores a deepening partisan divide, with Republicans accusing Democrats of undermining constitutional obligations and setting a dangerous precedent for future impeachments.

I was proud to join my Republican colleagues calling on Chuck Schumer to hold an impeachment trial for Alejandro Mayorkas. If he doesn’t, he is throwing away the Senate’s impeachment powers. Do Senate Democrats even care about the Constitution or the rule of law?…
