Michigan Rep. Thanedar calls for Trump to be impeached over case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia
Source: cbsnews.com
Democratic U.S Rep. Shri Thanedar of Michigan is calling for the impeachment of President Trump over the case of the man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador.
Thanedar's office said in a release Friday that the Trump administration's "blatant disregard" for a U.S. Supreme Court ruling requiring they facilitate the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia is a "direct defiance of the U.S. Constitution."
"I've seen enough," Thanedar said in a social media post on Thursday. "Trump is not abiding by a Supreme Court ruling. I fully support impeaching him. Now."
The Trump administration said in a court filing last month that an "administrative error" and an "oversight" resulted in Abrego Garcia's deportation from the U.S. to a supermax prison in El Salvador, despite a legal order prohibiting his removal there.

Whatever it was, it was done on purpose. And they refuse to fix their error.

(16,563 posts)Trumpers. Family was very important to our parents and their siblings/parents -- on both sides. And there were many aunts and uncles -- my Mom 1 of 9, and my Dad 1 of 5. Sadly, there is a schism within our immediate family that is only growing these days. The three Trumpers seem to think we are the deluded and brainwashed ones -- 100%. How do you bridge that?

TheTrumpers have had troubles in life for whatever reasons; they are each different, but also the same in that I would describe them as damaged people. And all three have turned to and become evangelical Christians over the years, two of them rabidly so. I think it comes down to self image and self-esteem.
That's it in a nutshell, at least as I see it.

And anyway, the House should do its Constitutional duty, regardless, because that's what they swore to do.

It was at the impetus of the big money on Wall Street, who has lost billionsbut meetings, nevertheless.
The thought has entered their minds. Let it please take hold.
