Shri Thanedar calls for Trump impeachment for deporting illegal alien terrorist gang member

Michi­gan Demo­c­rat Con­gress­man Shri Thanedar wants to impeach Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump over “high crimes” relat­ed to the depor­ta­tion of a MS-13 ter­ror­ist gang mem­ber to El Sal­vador.

“I’ve seen enough,” Thanedar false­ly claimed on Face­book last week. “Trump is not abid­ing by a Supreme Court rul­ing. I ful­ly sup­port impeach­ing him. NOW.”

Thanedar was ref­er­enc­ing the depor­ta­tion of Kil­mar Arman­do Abrego Gar­cia, an adju­di­cat­ed mem­ber of the Sal­vado­ran gang MS-13, which has been des­ig­nat­ed a ter­ror­ist orga­ni­za­tion by the Trump admin­is­tra­tion. The case has become a major dis­in­for­ma­tion cam­paign intend­ed to lay the ground­work for a future false impeach­ment of Pres­i­dent Trump.

Kil­mar Arman­do Abrego Gar­cia was an ille­gal alien from El Sal­vador. He was arrest­ed in 2019 in asso­ci­a­tion with MS-13 gang activ­i­ties. Rep­re­sent­ed by coun­sel, the gov­ern­ment pre­sent­ed evi­dence, includ­ing wit­ness tes­ti­mo­ny, that he was a mem­ber of MS-13. He pre­sent­ed no evi­dence to the con­trary and freely admit­ted to being an ille­gal alien. He appealed his law­ful depor­ta­tion order and lost.

For the next six years, Gar­cia dis­obeyed his depor­ta­tion order. Mean­while Sec­re­tary of State Mar­co Rubio declared MS-13 a ter­ror­ist orga­ni­za­tion as autho­rized by Con­gress. Gar­cia at that point became an ille­gal alien mem­ber of a ter­ror­ist orga­ni­za­tion, void­ing a with­hold­ing order that would have still required him to deport, but not to El Sal­vador.

After being deport­ed back to El Sal­vador, rad­i­cal activist dis­trict judge Paula Xinis unlaw­ful­ly ordered the Trump admin­is­tra­tion to “effec­tu­ate” his return to the Unit­ed States, some­thing the judi­cial branch has no pow­er to order (because for­eign pol­i­cy is the exclu­sive juris­dic­tion of the Exec­u­tive Branch).

On appeal, the Supreme Court reversed Xinis by requir­ing she “clar­i­fy” what she meant by “effec­tu­ate” because this “might” be out­side the scope of her author­i­ty and ordered her to clar­i­fy “with due def­er­ence to the Exec­u­tive Branch.” Notably, the court said only that that the gov­ern­ment should “facil­i­tate” (not impede) the release, not return, of Gar­cia.

Regret­tably, the Supreme Court’s polite­ness was tak­en for weak­ness, and Xinis sim­ply lied about what they said and began order­ing the Trump admin­is­tra­tion to abscond Gar­cia from the cus­tody of his home coun­try of El Sal­vador.

We look for­ward to the Supreme Court retak­ing the case, set­ting the record straight, and humil­i­at­ing the Democ­rats once and for all on this mat­ter.
