House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., announced Thursday in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., that the articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas will be sent over to the Senate on April 10, when lawmakers return from recess.
The House narrowly approved articles of impeachment against Mayorkas last month in a rebuke of President Joe Biden's immigration policies. The measure passed by one vote, 214-213, after failing to garner enough support the week prior in an embarrassing defeat for Republicans.
"We urge you to schedule a trial of the matter expeditiously," Johnson wrote in the letter to Schumer on Thursday.
