The Spin

Democratic narrative

Trump must be held accountable for his unconstitutional actions. He has repeatedly violated the separation of powers and has defied a unanimous SCOTUS ruling. His administration's refusal to return Abrego Garcia despite court orders demonstrates a dangerous pattern of executive overreach that threatens the foundations of American democracy.

Republican narrative

This stunt is a desperate political ploy from a congressman facing serious primary challenges. Thanedar is clearly trying to save his political career by pandering to his base with an impeachment effort that has zero chance of success in a Republican-controlled Congress rather than focusing on real issues affecting his constituents.
