"House Impeaches DHS Secretary Mayorkas: What Happens Next and Key Takeaways"

The House of Representatives has voted to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, marking the first time a Cabinet secretary has been impeached in nearly 150 years. The matter now heads to the Senate, where a trial could lead to conviction and removal from office, although it's highly unlikely given the Democratic control. The Senate is expected to convene and receive the impeachment articles from the House before proceeding with any action, with the trial set to start after senators return to Washington on Feb. 26.
