A cabinet member has not been impeached since William Belknap in 1876.

It is not likely that the Senate will convict Mayorkas or that he will be removed from his position, NPR reports.

.

DHS spokesperson Mia Ehrenberg said that the impeachment was conducted "without a shred of evidence or legitimate constitutional grounds.".

House Republicans will be remembered by history for trampling on the Constitution for political gain rather than working to solve the serious challenges at our border, DHS spokesperson Mia Ehrenberg, via statement.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called the impeachment "a new low for House Republicans.".

This sham impeachment effort is another embarrassment for House Republicans, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, via statement.

The one and only reason for this impeachment is for Speaker Johnson to further appease Donald Trump, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, via statement.

President Biden also condemned the impeachment.

History will not look kindly on House Republicans for their blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship that has targeted an honorable public servant in order to play petty political games, President Joe Biden, via statement

Supreme Court Rules That Some Jan. 6 Defendants Were Improperly Charged

Supreme Court Rules That , Some Jan. 6 Defendants, Were Improperly Charged. NPR reports that the United States Supreme Court voted to limit which defendants accused of taking part in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot can be charged by federal prosecutors. The decision also casts doubt on two out of the four felony counts in former President Donald Trump's election subversion indictment. According to conservative Chief Justice John Roberts, the court ruled that the U.S. government must prove , ā€œthat the defendant impaired the availability or integrity for use in an official proceeding of records, documents, objects, or other things used in an official proceeding.ā€. NPR reports that prosecutors relied on a key criminal statute to prosecute over 350 participants of the Capitol riot. The statute makes it a crime to alter or destroy official documents, or to otherwise obstruct or impede official proceedings. Roberts wrote that the statute was not meant to broaden the meaning of the law to make it a catchall provision. . The decision will impact other cases related to Jan. 6, many of which will have to be resentenced, retried or defendants will be released. . NYU law professor Ryan Goodman authored a study that found only 346 of the 1,417 people charged in connection with the Capitol riot were charged under the obstruction statute. The study also found that 71 people are still awaiting trial on the obstruction charge, but over half of them are also charged with another felony. NPR points out that if found guilty of other felony charges, the sentencing judge is still allowed to use the charge of obstruction to determine the length of their sentence.
