Republican senators are demanding an impeachment trial for Alejandro Mayorkas, marking him as the first sitting Cabinet member in U.S. history to be impeached earlier this month. The push for Mayorkas' trial comes amid challenges faced by House Republicans to pinpoint 'high crimes' for impeachment-level charges. As the impeachment process moves to the Senate, leaders are expected to seek a quick dismissal. This political turmoil unfolds alongside efforts to avert a partial government shutdown, with the Senate back in session and no clear solution in sight.
