Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) has formally introduced articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, who was decisively reelected by the American people to advance his platform, accusing him of a series of offenses ranging from obstruction of justice to abuse of power.
On Monday, Thanedar announced via a post on X that he had officially submitted a resolution seeking the impeachment of President Trump.
Fox News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram shared on X that one of his colleagues had verified Thanedar’s submission of the impeachment articles.
The charges outlined in the impeachment resolution reportedly include “obstruction of justice/violation of due process, usurpation of appropriations power, abuse of trade powers and international aggression, violations of the First Amendment, creation of an unlawful office, bribery and corruption, and tyranny.”
Thanedar’s move to introduce impeachment articles comes just as President Trump nears the milestone of completing his first 100 days in office during his historic second nonconsecutive term, following his overwhelming victory in November 2024, when he carried the Electoral College, the popular vote, and swept all battleground states.
Since returning to the White House, President Trump has prioritized immigration enforcement, invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to expedite the deportation of migrants, leading to the removal of several alleged gang affiliates to prisons in El Salvador, even as courts have attempted to push back against his efforts.
In a related development, the FBI last week arrested Judge Hannah Dugan of Wisconsin, who stands accused of helping an illegal immigrant evade detention.
“No one is above the law,” stated FBI Director Kash Patel in a post Friday on X.
Democrats expressed outrage following the FBI’s unexpected arrest of the liberal judge, prompting White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller to highlight that Democrats “spent the last 8 years stripping Americans of due process to jail them for protected political activity” and were “illegally spying on the Trump Campaign.”
Miller continued by alleging that Democrats had “using the FBI and intelligence apparatus to pursue political enemies” and “launching a coup against President Trump and his Administration,” among other serious accusations.
He went further, accusing Democrats of orchestrating “a mass invasion of the United States by foreign cartels and enemy terrorists, resulting in immense casualties and suffering across the nation.”
“And now these same Democrats howl with rage when the invasion is returned and those who criminally harbor the invaders and feloniously obstruct their removal are held accountable under law,” Miller declared.
Meanwhile, Tom Homan, who serves as Trump’s border czar, issued a stern warning on Monday, cautioning that any official or judge found sheltering illegal migrants would face prosecution.
“Protest all you want, but when you cross that line — I’ve said this one thousand times — when you cross that line to impediment or knowingly harboring or concealing an illegal alien migrant, you will be prosecuted, judge or not,” Homan said.
In his first few months back in the Oval Office, President Trump has also been aggressively reshaping America’s trade policies to secure more advantageous deals for the country.
Earlier this month, President Trump introduced a broad range of tariffs that targeted almost every nation exporting goods to the United States, including a significant 34 percent tariff on Chinese imports.
Shortly after the announcement, every targeted nation except China entered negotiations with the U.S., leading the administration to delay tariffs on those negotiating countries for a 90-day period, according to the White House.
While talks with other countries moved forward, the Trump administration raised tariffs on Chinese imports to 145 percent and eliminated a long-standing loophole that Chinese businesses had been using to bypass American trade laws.
Last week, President Trump revealed in an interview with Time magazine that China’s leader Xi Jinping, often criticized for his brutal rule, reached out to him to initiate discussions over trade.
