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.
