House to send Mayorkas impeachment articles to Senate on April 10, teeing up clash over trial

Washington — House Republicans are set to present the articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate after Congress returns from recess next month, kickstarting a clash over an impeachment trial in the upper chamber that Democrats are expected to work to quickly quash.

They allege that the secretary has failed to enforce the nation's laws and detain thousands of migrants, despite pushback from the Department of Homeland Security, Democrats and some Republicans. The two articles of impeachment accuse Mayorkas of 'willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law' and a 'breach of public trust.' Last month, the House voted narrowly to impeach Mayorkas under the articles, in a vote that came after an initial attempt failed.
