Democratic Congressmember Al Green Files Articles of Impeachment Against Trump

HeadlineAug 25, 2026

Democratic Congressmember Al Green filed articles of impeachment Monday against President Trump over his violent mass deportation campaign. In his resolution, Green argues, “[President Trump] is abusing the powers of the presidency by operating United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection as his vicious, quota-driven, unaccountable paramilitary police forces, transgressing with anonymity and secrecy, assaulting people, committing and covering up unjustified killings of civilians.”

This comes as a U.S. airman, Major Jason Watson, was arrested twice for calling for the impeachment of President Trump. He was officially criminally charged Monday for his comments. He faces three violations for “contemptuous” remarks about Trump, five violations for allegedly disobeying orders, and two violations for alleged conduct unbecoming of an officer.
