MEDIA ADVISORY AND PUBLIC NOTICE

(Houston, TX)—On Monday, June 9, 2025, Congressman Al Green recognized the battle won by litigators as well as by an impeachment movement driven by many organizations including but not limited to Free Speech for People, Women’s March, Mayday Movement, 14thNow, Citizens Impeachment, as well as his own articles of impeachment filed against President Donald Trump. The impeachment movement played a significant role in forcing an authoritarian President to respect due process of the law as well as return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States of America. These efforts forced the recognition of Abrego Garcia’s right to due process after a prolonged and unjust removal from the United States. These groups and many others, together with countless individuals, organized impeachment rallies, town halls, and grassroots campaigns that brought national attention to authoritarian President Trump’s numerous abuses of power. Abuses that are explicated in Impeachment Resolution 415, filed by Congressman Al Green, wherein authoritarian President Trump is charged with having gravely endangered the separation of powers within the government. Further, he threatened the integrity of the democratic system by condoning the undermining of the judicial independence of the federal judiciary, violating the due process clause in the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, denigrating federal judges, ignoring the separation of powers, condoning the flouting of orders of the United States federal courts (including orders of the United States Supreme Court) – all of which have caused the devolution of democracy within the United States of America into authoritarianism with himself as an authoritarian President. He thereby betrayed his trust as President to the manifest injury of the people of the United States. The filing of impeachment articles, coupled with organized and sustained efforts, served as a powerful deterrent similar to the Sword of Damocles. They constitute a sword of democracy hanging by a strand of constitutional power threatening his presidency. 

Congressman Al Green stated, “Our bold movement for impeachment was a powerful catalyst to help bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back into the United States. It was more than a political stand, it was a moral imperative to fight to uphold our constitutional right to due process of the law. This victory serves as a testament to the collective action taken by dedicated American people to hold authoritarian President Donald John Trump accountable for his misdeeds and unconstitutional actions. Although we have won a battle, the war to impeach authoritarian President Trump is not over. We must have a vote to impeach the authoritarian to preserve and protect democracy.”
