House Dem: Trump’s LA Actions Are Impeachable
Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY) asserted that President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops and Marines to quell Los Angeles protests constitutes impeachable offenses, a position shared at a Tri-Caucus press conference. Clarke deemed the action an “authoritarian escalation,” a wasteful expenditure of taxpayer funds, and an overreaction to peaceful protests against immigration raids. This follows two previous impeachment efforts against Trump, although neither gained sufficient support within the Democratic caucus. The current Republican-controlled Congress makes further impeachment proceedings unlikely.
