The Libertarian Party of Travis County in Texas is calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, citing alleged constitutional violations and the administration’s handling of due process for U.S. residents.
In a resolution adopted Monday during the party’s monthly meeting, the affiliate formally called for Trump’s impeachment. The resolution claims that the Trump administration violated constitutional rights by denying due process to legal residents, targeting individuals for deportation based on political beliefs, and issuing executive orders that the party argues is otherwise unlawful. It also raises concerns over past remarks from the president suggesting that American citizens could be sent to foreign prisons.
The resolution specifically highlights the recent case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national residing in Maryland, who was reportedly deported in error to El Salvador. The Trump administration has stated that Garcia was affiliated with MS-13, a gang designated by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization. Garcia and his legal team dispute this claim, and no related criminal charges have been filed. Despite a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court ruling affirming Garcia’s right to remain in the United States, the administration has said it lacks the authority to force his return.
Declaring that the administration has “no obvious intention” of honoring the Constitution, the Travis County affiliate argues that impeachment is warranted to uphold the rule of law and the principles of the U.S. Constitution. The full resolution passed by the party can be read below:
LIBERTARIAN PARTY OF TRAVIS COUNTY CALLS FOR TRUMP’S IMPEACHMENT
* On April 14, 2025, the following resolution was passed and will be publicized far and wide:
* Whereas, the U. S. District Court for the District of Columbia, affirmed by a unanimous U. S. Supreme Court, ruled that the Government must facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador.
* Whereas, President Donald J. Trump and members of his administration, admit than an administrative error was made to send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to an El Salvadoran prison, yet say there is nothing they can do about it, when in reality, they choose to do nothing about it.
* Whereas, President Donald J. Trump and his administration have violated the constitutional rights of numerous legal U. S. residents by denying them due process of law in challenging deportation orders.
* Whereas, President Donald J. Trump and his administration have targeted legal U. S. residents for deportation due to their political viewpoints, in disregard of the First Amendment.
* Whereas, President Donald J. Trump has falsely used the Alien Act of 1798 and other laws to effectuate removal of legal residents, when he should have known that these laws involve wartime measures, not law enforcement measures.
* Whereas, President Donald J. Trump stated that he wants to send U. S. citizens to foreign prisons where they would certainly have no due process of law.
* Whereas, no one in the U. S. appears to be safe from President Donald J. Trump’s lawless, dictatorial pronouncements that he issues as Executive Orders, which he asserts have force of law when they actually violate the constitutional separation of powers.
* Whereas, the Libertarian Party stands for upholding the U. S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, and for respecting for the rule of law over dictatorship and tyranny.
* And Whereas, President Donald J. Trump took an oath of office to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States” with no obvious intention of doing so.
* Therefore, be it resolved, that the Libertarian Party of Travis County calls for the impeachment of President Donald J. Trump and his removal from office.
LOSERTARIANS - Handmaidens and sycophants to the DemocRATS, globalists and neocons.
Austin Texas losers don’t like Trump. What a surprise.
Libertarians don’t believe in borders.
The Libertarian party stands for open immigration and open trade and its "upholding the U.S. Constitution" is entirely dependent on their interpretation of the Constitution permitting open immigration and entirely unrestricted trade.
A constitutional conservative starts with the Constitution and then proceeds to form an opinion on an issue. Libertarians take the reverse route.
Then let them house and support all the illegals.
Every Losertarian I have ever known is an open border idiot.
Odd how this is the only story about them... what have they got? Five members and a PR firm paid for by Cartel thugs?
More evidence that Democrat strategies include infiltration, impersonation, and subterfuge. They have taken over these Libertarians.
This calling for stuff, does it work? I call hey Marilyn bring me a sandwich and a cold beer. She asks how I’d like them shoved up my ass? Straight or sideways hope you like mustard? BuuwaaAhhaaaa!
Habitus Corpus is specifically mentioned to NOT apply to individuals with regards to invasion. Remember Chevron ruling, words matter.
What’s up with these dumbasses in Texas??
It’s Austin, the San Fransicko of Texas.
Trump is the most Libertarian President since the founding of the Libertarian Party, and possibly since the Founding Fathers.
These “Libertarians” are fakes, or they are left-wing, big-government libertarians who care mostly about legalizing their weed.
Legal residents does not mean citizens.
STFU and sit down
Libertarians have been an aborted party since 1978...and Democrat party stooge....
Looks like all them libertarians” have become socialists....ain’t that right, Rand?
Libertarians have always been a bit strange. They have so many self-serving perspectives which often verge on insanity and confusion.
