Representative Shri Thanedar has filed an impeachment resolution against President Donald Trump - claiming that Kilmar Armando Ábrego García (confirmed wife-beater and MS-13 gang member) was deported to his country of origin "unlawfully".
• obstruction of justice,
• abuse of executive power,
• denial of due process.
• usurpation of congressional funding,
• abuse of trade powers,
• violation of First Amendment rights,
• bribery, and unlawful
• creation of a government office.
“Donald Trump has already done real damage to our democracy. But defying a unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court ruling? That has to be the final straw. It’s time we impeach Donald J. Trump. . . Trump ignored [the Court Order to facilitate Abrego-Garcia's return to the U.S.]. He ignored the Constitution. He ignored the very checks and balances that keep our democracy intact. This isn’t an isolated incident - it’s part of a dangerous, deliberate pattern.” - Rep. Shri Thanedar
Michigan Rep. Donavan McKinney pointed out that Thanedar's Impeachment Resolution is a thinly-veiled partisan political stunt and really shouldn't be taken seriously:
“People like our Congressman, Shri Thanedar, are the problem - a multimillionaire who spent millions to buy a seat in Congress, who has more in common with President Trump and Elon Musk than people like us.”
The chances that this Impeachment Resolution will gain traction is practically nil (IMO)
