House Democrat forces #Trump #impeachment vote over #ICE
by Cami Mondeaux, September 14, 2026
Excerpt: "The House could consider an #ArticleOfImpeachment targeting President #DonaldTrump this week, accusing the president of abusing his executive power after the killings of #USCitizens at the hands of federal immigration officers earlier this year.
"Democratic Rep. #AlGreen of Texas on Monday introduced a privileged resolution accusing Trump of #HighCrimesAndMisdemeanors, using a procedural tool forcing #HouseGOP leaders to schedule a vote on the article of impeachment within two legislative days. It’s not yet clear when that vote could be scheduled, and GOP leaders could seek to table the motion or refer it to a committee of jurisdiction, essentially killing the motion without a formal vote.
" 'The President is reducing American democracy to an #AuthoritarianRegime,' Green said in a floor speech on Monday. 'President Trump, using the powers of his high office, individually and in coordination with officers in his administration, has transformed ICE and #CBP into dangerous, unaccountable #paramilitary police forces that operate without oversight and pose a direct threat to the #constitutional order of the United States and the people of the United States. By such abuses of power, President Trump is brazenly and wantonly devolving the United States democratic republic into an authoritarian regime.'
"Green listed four crimes he believes Trump is guilty of after activating #BorderPatrol agents and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers during #OperationMetroSurge, a mission designed to apprehend undocumented immigrants and deport them.
"The Texas Democrat accused Trump of enabling ICE and Border Patrol to carry out 'unjustified killings'; allowing agents to 'operate with anonymity,' referring to face masks worn by officers; undermining the #FirstAmendment and #FreeSpeech; and skirting judicial oversight.
"Green specifically cited the deaths of four U.S. citizens who were killed by immigration officers during that operation, including #AlexPretti and #ReneeGood, who were killed in separate instances in Minneapolis after altercations with officers."

A Wedding Gift for the President’s Son Raises Ethical Concerns
A Russian businessman with ties to the #Kremlin paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for a wedding after-party in the Bahamas for #DonaldTrumpJr.
By Ben Protess, Sept. 14, 2026
Excerpt: "A Russian businessman with ties to the Kremlin paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to help finance Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding after-party in the Bahamas this year, according to two people with knowledge of the matter. The payments represented an extraordinary flouting of ethical norms for an American president’s family.
"To avoid foreign influence, a president’s family is generally expected to steer clear of these sorts of personal and pricey gifts, particularly from someone in a country like #Russia, an adversary known to surreptitiously push its geopolitical agenda. The concern, ethics experts say, is that a foreign actor could ply a president’s family member with gifts and eventually expect something in return.
"Mr. Trump, the president’s eldest son, accepted the gifts from #UmarKremlev, the president of the #InternationalBoxingAssociation, according to the people with knowledge of the matter. The payments, reported earlier by ProPublica, included the cost of renting a private island and a fireworks display.
"Mr. Kremlev reportedly stood out at the after-party. Some of Mr. Trump’s guests questioned who he was and why he was there, according to one of the people with knowledge of the matter.
"After ProPublica reported on Mr. Kremlev’s payments, Mr. Trump and his new wife, Bettina Trump, posted a statement to Instagram acknowledging the gifts."

Albania's Flamingo Revolution: Protests Against Kushner-Trump Luxury Resort Could Bring Down Gov't
"Plans for a luxury resort in an ecologically sensitive area have set off more than a month of protests in #Albania, where thousands have taken to the streets to oppose the #megaproject backed by #IvankaTrump and #JaredKushner. The #FlamingoRevolution — named for its feared impact on #MigratoryBirds — began as an #EnvironmentalProtest but has now turned into anger at the entire political system, threatening to bring down the government of Prime Minister #EdiRama."
