"Senate Trial for Mayorkas Impeachment Articles Set to Begin Amid Democratic Disposal"

TL;DR
The Senate trial for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the first Cabinet secretary to be impeached in 150 years, is set to start, but Democrats are likely to dispose of the charges. House Republicans are delivering the charges, but Senate Democrats are expected to move to dismiss or table them. The trial comes amid discussions on border security, with Republicans eager to force votes on the issue to link Democrats with the Biden administration's policies.
