Al Green to Force House Vote on Impeaching Trump
The procedural move would force a House vote within two legislative days, and Green says Trump abused executive power after four deaths linked to immigration officers.
- On Monday, Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas introduced a privileged resolution accusing President Trump of high crimes and misdemeanors, forcing House GOP leaders to schedule a vote within two legislative days.
- Green cited Operation Metro Surge, accusing Trump of enabling ICE and Border Patrol to carry out "unjustified killings" and allowing agents to "operate with anonymity," specifically referencing deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis.
- Public outcry over the killings prompted congressional Democrats to accuse the administration of weaponizing immigration officers, leading to a 76-day shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security earlier this year, the longest shutdown of a single government agency in U.S. history.
- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., told ABC's "This Week" that Democrats "haven't ruled anything in" or "out" regarding impeachment if they win the House majority, though Green lost his primary and will not serve next year.
- GOP leaders could seek to table the motion or refer it to a committee to avoid a formal vote; Green has introduced impeachment articles three other times since Trump's reelection, but all have failed.
