Democratic U.S Rep. Shri Thanedar of Michigan is calling for the impeachment of 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.”

    I call for Trump to be sent to prison in El Salvador but I’ll settle for him being removed from office

      I don’t think we should create arbitrary punishments for him. He is subject to due process and the maximum punishment prescribed by law. Just the same as anyone else in this country.

      Charge his ass with Treason and give him the maximum punishment.

        It’d be very curious if there was literally no country on the planet that permitted him entry. I was about to say Russia, but he’s only been useful as a pawn in the US to them.

      too bad that calling for it is just wishful thinking. maybe we should band together to DO the things we wish for.
