H. Res. 1486, introduced by Representative Al Green on August 24, 2026 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee, would impeach President Donald J. Trump for "high crimes and misdemeanors." The resolution says the President violated his Presidential oath (article II, section 1, clause 8) by enabling and defending alleged abuses by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). It alleges those agencies were run as quota-driven, unaccountable paramilitary forces that committed and covered up unjustified killings (naming Renee Good, Alex Pretti, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, and Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero), blocked investigations, violated constitutional rights (First, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments), and disobeyed court orders. The resolution states these actions make the President a threat to the democratic republic and seeks to exhibit articles of impeachment to the Senate.
The resolution is a formal charge from the House of Representatives that would lead to articles of impeachment being sent to the Senate for trial, according to the text. The resolution states the conduct "warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office." No other direct effects on individuals or programs are described in the text.

The resolution describes the President as having abused the powers of the presidency and violated his oath by enabling ICE and CBP to act with impunity. It says those agencies have committed unjustified killings, covered up wrongdoing, intimidated communities through anonymous or militarized tactics, suppressed free speech by targeting protesters, and flouted judicial oversight and court orders. The sponsors argue these actions threaten democracy and justify impeachment and removal.
