SCOTT McFARLANE: Meanwhile, Johnson's House Republicans are trying to remove a different official. Delivering impeachment articles to the Senate today against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

MARK GREEN: …is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors. 

McFARLANE: Arguing he’s willfully and systematically refused to enforce immigration laws, an allegation Mayorkas denied again today. 

ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS: I have abided by the law each and every step of the way. 

McFARLANE: Setting up a formal proceeding tomorrow in the U.S. Senate destined for a dead end. 

What are the prospects there’s actually going to be an impeachment trial tomorrow? 

THOM THILLIS: Um- I’d say virtually none. 

McFARLANE: Democrats control the Senate and senators expect the debt matter will be quickly shut down without a trial. 

PETER WELCH: It’s a bogus action by the House. That's the problem. 

McFARLANE: The impeachment proceedings are scheduled to begin here tomorrow afternoon, but the Biden administration says the entire endeavor is baseless and a waste of time.
