Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was impeached on Tuesday, setting the secretary up for a trial in the Senate that likely will place him right back in his position.
Mayorkas became the first Cabinet member in nearly 150 years to be impeached after House Republicans led the charge to remove him following several investigative hearings on the secretary and his handling of border security. Now, the impeachment will go before the Senate, in which Democrats hold a slim majority and seem inclined to let Mayorkas keep his job.
