Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is calling on the Senate to follow constitutional process after a vote on whether to proceed with an impeachment trial for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was tabled.
House Republicans impeached Mr. Mayorkas over several issues—chief among them being border security, as an unprecedented number of illegal immigrants have been crossing the southern border. The Senate is responsible for holding impeachment trials, which can result in a guilty charge or acquittal.
