Subject: Terminate Mayorkas Impeachment Trial

Description: Schumer (D-NY) motion to adjourn the impeachment trial of Secretary of Homeland Security Alexander J. Mayorkas sine die. In its first Article of Impeachment, the House alleged that Secretary Mayorkas has "willfully and systematically refused to comply with Federal immigration law" by refusing to detain some illegal immigrants as the law requires, and has instead released huge numbers (8.6 million) of illegal immigrants into the United States.

In its second Article of Impeachment, the House alleges that Secretary Mayorkas has breached the public trust in two respects: by knowingly making false statements to Congress that the border is "secure" and that the Department of Homeland Security has "operational control" of the border, and by failing to comply with subpoenas issued by congressional committees seeking to exercise oversight over DHS activities.

Result: Motion to Adjourn Agreed to, 51-49
