Trump’s illegal acts warrant impeachment

It is time to tell Congress to impeach President Trump because our government is under attack.

The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 should not have been used to deport people to an El Salvador prison according to Lee Gelernt, a deputy director of the ACLU Immigrants’ Rights Project.

President Trump defied orders from a federal judge to stop sending detainees to the prison.. It is clear that the detainees were not given due process or an opportunity to speak to their lawyers. It also is clear that the detainees will get tortured. Those that support democracy and our Constitution must make it clear and protest in the streets and voice that President Trump’s actions are not acceptable and won’t be allowed.. We do not need this racist Act of 1798 used to deport people without a trial.

No working person voted for this coup government. We need to end this coup government with President Trump and Elon Musk. Mahmoud Khalil who has a green card, is married, and has all the rights of a U.S. citizen should not have been arrested for political speech.

One should not be arrested for political speech that our president does not like. If we allow the president to take green card holders’ right to freedom of speech away next the president will go take any U.S. born citizen’s right of freedom of speech away. Soon, it will be unlawful to say anything against President Trump.
