House delivers Mayorkas impeachment articles to Schumer, setting up trial proceedings

The long-awaited articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Mayorkas were delivered to the Senate on Tuesday, setting in motion a required procedure in the upper chamber.

The articles were initially passed in February, but the House held off sending them to the Senate until after the appropriations process was over.  Follow Julia's reporting on X at @JuliaaJohnson_ and send tips to Julia.Johnson@fox.com.

With custody of the articles, Schumer has urged all senators to be present during the week as they will be sworn in as jurors for the impeachment trial on Wednesday.
