Al Green Files New Trump Impeachment Resolution Over ICE and CBP Abuse Claims

Summary
Rep. Al Green filed a fresh impeachment resolution Monday accusing President Donald Trump of violating his constitutional oath and using ICE and CBP as unaccountable forces that terrorize communities.
The filing cites alleged assaults, coverups and civilian killings by immigration agents, naming 4 victims, and argues those actions are pushing the U.S. toward authoritarian rule.
White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis called the resolution “garbage,” saying such rhetoric has fueled a more than 1,300% increase in assaults on law enforcement officers and defending ICE and CBP’s work.
Republican control of both chambers makes the effort unlikely to advance, a reality Green acknowledged in a letter saying even failed articles can put congressional disapproval on the record.
Green has repeatedly sought Trump’s impeachment across both terms; Trump was impeached 2 times in his first term, but the Senate acquitted him both times.
