Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This resolution proposes the impeachment of Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors, asserting he has violated his constitutional oath of office. It contends that he has failed to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, thereby posing a significant threat to democracy and the rule of law. The resolution specifically accuses him of abusing presidential powers by operating United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as "vicious, quota-driven, unaccountable paramilitary police forces." The articles of impeachment detail several alleged abuses, including the commission and cover-up of unjustified killings of civilians , such as Renee Good, Alex Pretti, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, and Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero. It claims President Trump has terrorized communities and is devolving the United States into an authoritarian regime where such actions are normalized. The resolution emphasizes that high crimes and misdemeanors for impeachment purposes are not limited to criminal statutes and represent injuries to society. Furthermore, the resolution alleges that President Trump has enabled ICE and CBP to act as "judge, jury, prosecutor, and executioner," violating the Fifth Amendment right to due process through these killings and subsequent cover-ups. It states that his administration has obstructed state and local investigations, spread misinformation, and protected officers involved in these incidents. The resolution cites specific instances where President Trump publicly defended the actions of officers and dismissed victims. The resolution also accuses the President of enabling ICE and CBP to operate with anonymity and secrecy , with officers wearing masks and refusing identification, thereby evading accountability and terrorizing communities. It asserts that he has undermined civil liberties and freedom of speech by targeting and unlawfully arresting pro-Palestinian students and academics. These actions, it claims, are part of an effort to silence dissent and carry out mass, unlawful arrests and removals. Finally, the resolution charges President Trump with undermining judicial oversight by shielding ICE and CBP officers from accountability and flouting the separation of powers. It highlights instances where ICE allegedly detained and removed individuals despite court orders, including the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and Venezuelan men in defiance of judicial directives. The resolution concludes that President Trump's conduct demonstrates a continued threat to the Constitution and warrants his impeachment and removal from office.
