The U.S. House of Representatives voted 232-147 to table a resolution introduced by Representative Al Green of Texas that sought to impeach President Trump over immigration enforcement issues, with 47 members voting present. The Democratic leadership did not whip the vote and emphasized that impeachment requires extensive investigation and consensus-building, which has not been undertaken yet. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, among others, suggested that impeachment might be reconsidered if Democrats regain control of the House.

Story summary
Rep. Al Green, a Democrat from Texas, aimed to force the House to vote on impeaching President Donald Trump in June 2025, citing federal immigration officials' lethal actions against U.S. citizens that year. However, on Tuesday, the House voted 232-147 with 47 voting present to table Green's impeachment resolution, effectively killing it. Eighteen Democrats joined Republicans to vote for tabling, while Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic minority leader, and other top leaders abstained from taking a stance on the motion by voting "present." The split within the Democratic party reflects their strategy to focus on policy issues relevant to everyday Americans rather than impeaching Trump.
