Just over two weeks after President Donald Trump’s return to the White House, a Democratic congressman has officially initiated an impeachment campaign against him, setting the stage for what could be another contentious battle in Congress. Rep. Al Green, a Democrat from Texas,

took to the House floor on Wednesday to announce his latest effort to remove Trump from office, declaring, “The movement to impeach the president has begun. I rise to announce that I will bring Articles of Impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done.”

Green’s call for impeachment comes in response to President Trump’s recent announcement regarding the United States taking full ownership of the Gaza Strip. According to Trump’s proposed plan, the U.S. government would assume control of the land, resettle nearly 2 million Palestinians in other countries, and develop the land for American use. The announcement has sparked international outrage and accusations of

ethnic cleansing, with critics warning that such a move could violate international law and destabilize the region even further. Green, an outspoken critic of Trump, condemned the president’s plan, stating, “To whom it may concern, ethnic cleansing in Gaza is not a joke, especially when it emanates from the president of the United States — the most powerful person in the world.” Read more below
