Wonder why 50-45 instead of 50-50...
What happened to the other 5 republicans?
At least they could have created a tie and made Border Czarina Kamel-ho (President of Vice) cast the tie breaking vote.

In an interview during the Texas Tribune’s virtual festival, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) said that should Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) leave his role as the Republican leader in Congress’ upper chamber, Cornyn would want to take his place.
“It’s been my honor to work with Sen. McConnell, who’s been in the Senate a lot longer than I have,” said Cornyn when asked about the possibility of a future majority or minority leader from Texas.

“But should he decide to step down and no longer serve as leader, I’ve made it no secret that I would like to succeed him,” said Cornyn. “If there’s an opportunity to do that, I would like to do that.”
Don’t know what happened to them, but this is who it was:
Not Voting - 5
Blackburn (R-TN)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Moran (R-KS)
Paul (R-KY)
Tuberville (R-AL)

The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, has announced that he is no longer going to “deport people solely because they are undocumented” and is advising ICE to consider shielding mentally ill criminals from deportation in the name of “achieving justice.”
CNBC on Thursday ran an article titled: “U.S. will no longer deport people solely because they are undocumented, Homeland Security secretary says.”
“Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Thursday said immigration officers can no longer detain and deport people from the U.S. solely because they are undocumented,” CNBC reported.
“The fact an individual is a removable noncitizen will not alone be the basis of an enforcement action against them,” Mayorkas’ new guidelines state.
