In February, the U.S. House of Representatives impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, marking him as the first sitting Cabinet secretary in history to face such charges. The impeachment, passed by a narrow margin of 214-213, was quickly dismissed by Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, avoiding a high-profile trial. This dismissal has sparked significant political debate, with Republicans criticizing the decision as a failure to address alleged security failures under Mayorkas' leadership, particularly concerning border security and the handling of illegal immigration and drug trafficking. Democrats, however, have defended the dismissal, arguing that the impeachment charges were unfounded and politically motivated.
