The Senate is set this this week to begin the impeachment trial for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

House members are scheduled to deliver the articles of impeachment to the Senate on Wednesday, nearly two months after the House narrowly voted to impeach Mayorkas. Senate Democrats have called the process a politically motivated"sham" and it is highly unlikely that Mayorkas will be convicted of any crimes or removed from his cabinet position.

The Homeland Security Department, under U.S. immigration law, has the ability to grant"parole" to noncitizens seeking to be in the U.S.
