5:33Now PlayingThe U.S. Senate dismissed both articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas after they were deemed unconstitutional in a party-line vote.
The first article charged Mayorkas with “willful and systemic refusal to comply” with immigration law. The second article charged Mayorkas with a “breach of trust” for saying the border was secure. The votes were 51-48 and 51-49, both along party lines.
House impeachment managers delivered the charges to the Senate on Tuesday. Once the senators were sworn in on Wednesday, the chamber turned into the court of impeachment, with Democratic Sen. Patty Murray of Washington presiding. Schumer then called for the votes to dismiss the trial after Republicans rejected a proposed agreement for Senate debate time and several votes on GOP objections.
This ends the House Republican push to remove the Cabinet secretary from office over his handling of the the U.S.-Mexico border and ending his trial before arguments even began.
