Al Green moves to force a House vote on impeaching Trump
The Texas Democrat filed a privileged resolution that compels the House to consider it within two legislative days. He tied the effort to the deaths of two U.S. citizens in federal immigration operations, according to Fox News Politics.
Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas said Monday that he is launching another effort to impeach Donald Trump in the U.S. House of Representatives, Fox News Politics reported.
Green introduced a privileged resolution on the House floor, a procedural tool that allows any lawmaker to force the full chamber to take up a measure within two legislative days. Under that rule, House Republican leaders will have to bring it to a vote by the end of Wednesday.
According to Fox News Politics, Green based the move on the killing of two American citizens during the federal crackdown on illegal immigration in U.S. cities. The resolution describes Trump as a major threat to democracy and the Constitution and accuses him of current high crimes and misdemeanors.
The vote is likely to create political tension for Democrats as they try to win back the House and Senate in the November midterm elections. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries has long declined to embrace impeachment and has said his party is focused on issues such as the cost of living, Fox News Politics said.
That outlet also recalled that in June 2025, Jeffries and 127 other Democrats joined Republicans to block an earlier impeachment effort led by Green.
Fox News Politics added that this push could be among Green’s last public actions against Trump after he lost his primary to a younger Democrat who campaigned on generational change.
In a letter to fellow lawmakers, Green argued that Democrats should not wait for future investigations and called for an immediate vote. In that letter, paraphrased from the original English, he said there was already enough evidence, including videos and Trump’s own words, to justify action now.
Green has repeatedly clashed with Trump in public during this term. Fox News Politics noted that he was removed from two presidential addresses to a joint session of Congress: in one case he waved his cane and shouted while Trump was speaking, and in another he held up a sign with an anti-racism message.
