Thanedar's office said in a release Friday that the Trump administration's "blatant disregard" for a Supreme Court ruling requiring they facilitate the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia is a "direct defiance of the U.S. Constitution."

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.”

    In the United States, impeachment is the first of two stages; an official may be impeached by a majority vote of the House, but conviction and removal from office in the Senate requires “the concurrence of two thirds of the members present”. Impeachment is analogous to an indictment.1
