Senate conservatives unsuccessfully attempted to pass a resolution expressing a lack of confidence in Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, who is likely to be impeached by the Republican-led House.

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS), joined by several of his Senate colleagues, requested that the measure be adopted without a formal vote on Tuesday, but Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE), the former chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, objected.
