TL;DR

The impeachment trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is expected to move to the Senate, but a full-scale trial is unlikely. The House voted to impeach Mayorkas over his handling of the southern border, but Senate Democrats are expected to move to dismiss the trial. The Senate has the option to dismiss the trial, send it to a committee, or hold a full-scale trial, with sources indicating that a lengthy trial is unlikely. Senators will be sworn in as jurors on Wednesday, and the proceedings are set to begin with the articles of impeachment being ceremoniously walked to the Senate on Tuesday.
