In February, the House Republicans made a bold move and voted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. They believe he’s been slacking off on enforcing our immigration laws and letting criminals run rampant in our communities, which they see as super serious crimes.
House Republicans Keep the Heat on Senators to Hold an Impeachment Trial

The next step is to take those impeachment charges over to the Senate for consideration on April 10, but it looks like Senate big shots like Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell aren’t too keen on holding a trial for Mayorkas. What’s up with that?
Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee Mark Green isn’t taking no for an answer, though. He’s telling the Senate it’s their duty to hold a trial and get Mayorkas out of there. Green’s all fired up and insisting that the Senate take this impeachment thing super seriously.
But hold up, it’s not just Green who’s pushing for a trial. Republican Senator Mike Lee and a bunch of other senators are on the case too. They’re telling McConnell that it’s totally not cool to just ignore the House’s impeachment charges. Lee’s got a bee in his bonnet about this whole thing, saying that the Senate can’t let Mayorkas off the hook for ignoring his duty to protect our country.
So, it looks like the battle lines are drawn, and both sides are standing their ground when it comes to kicking Mayorkas out of office. Let’s see what happens next.
