House Impeaches Homeland Security Secretary, But Impeachment Expected to Stall in Senate
- House succeeded in second attempt to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas; faces quick death in Senate
- Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer likely to dismiss charges or refer to committee, avoiding a trial
- Schumer has votes to dismiss, including support from Sen. Joe Manchin
- Some Republican senators dismissive of impeachment effort, see it as misplaced emphasis
- Articles accuse Mayorkas of violating immigration laws and "breach of public trust" in misleading Congress, failing to fulfill duties
