Rep. Thanedar Calls for Trump's Impeachment Over Supreme Court Defiance

Democratic Congressman Shri Thanedar of Michigan has called for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, accusing him of defying a Supreme Court order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man wrongfully deported to El Salvador. Thanedar argues that Trump's refusal to abide by the unanimous Supreme Court ruling constitutes an impeachable offense and poses a constitutional crisis. The Trump administration claims it cannot return Garcia, citing both the authority of the president over foreign affairs and statements from El Salvador's president denying the ability to repatriate him. Conservative critics have defended the administration, labeling Garcia an MS-13 gang member and asserting his deportation was justified, while Democrats emphasize the issue of due process and compliance with the court. The controversy has intensified partisan divisions, with Thanedar stating that disregarding lawful Supreme Court orders demands accountability from the president. If impeachment proceedings advance, this would mark Trump's third impeachment effort.
