I demand the immediate impeachment, conviction, and removal of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for his role in ordering extrajudicial killings on suspected drug boats. His verbal order to "kill everybody" has resulted in over 80 deaths in the past three months, including a strike on September 2 that killed 11 people in the Caribbean. These actions constitute war crimes and violate international law. The Trump administration's claim of being in an "armed conflict" with drug cartels lacks legal justification and sets a dangerous precedent. Despite a Department of Justice memo suggesting military personnel won't face prosecution, legal experts warn of criminal liability. I urge you to join other Congress members in demanding explanations, calling for a vote to block further strikes, and initiating impeachment proceedings against Secretary Hegseth. Swift action is necessary to uphold the rule of law, prevent further abuses of power, and restore our nation's integrity in the international community. The impeachment, conviction, and removal of Hegseth are crucial steps in holding our leaders accountable for their actions and reaffirming our commitment to human rights and due process.
