Democrat Rep. Al Green is preparing to take another swing at impeaching President Donald Trump, returning to a crusade that has already produced seven previous attempts.
Green announced the latest push after losing his primary by nearly 40% and being ousted from Congress, Townhall reported.
The Texas Democrat is basing this impeachment effort on four fatal shootings involving federal agents conducting immigration enforcement operations.
The people identified in connection with those shootings are Renée Good, Alex Pretti, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, and Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero.
Green alleges that the actions taken by federal agents in those cases were unjustified.
He further argues that the shootings amount to high crimes and misdemeanors, the constitutional standard he is invoking in his latest effort against Trump.
This will mark Green’s eighth attempt to impeach the president, making the announcement less of a political surprise than another familiar installment.
His last impeachment effort came as recently as June of this year, according to the source.
That previous attempt did not gain the support necessary to move forward.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and 127 of his Democratic colleagues joined Republicans in torpedoing Green’s attempt, delivering a decisive setback to the Texas congressman’s impeachment campaign.

The earlier vote showed that a large group of House Democrats was unwilling to follow Green into another impeachment battle.
Jeffries and those 127 Democrats instead sided with the Republican opposition to stop the effort before it could advance.
Green is now putting the issue back before Congress with only 50 days remaining until the midterm elections.
The timing means Democrats could again be required to place their positions on the record just as voters prepare to decide control of Congress.
That vote could present an unwelcome political choice for Democrats who previously rejected Green’s approach.
They will either have to support his eighth impeachment attempt or once again join Republicans in blocking a member of their own party.
House Republicans, meanwhile, could gain campaign ammunition from the renewed impeachment push as they work to retain both chambers of Congress.
The source explicitly identifies that possibility as one of the political consequences of forcing Democrats to vote on Green’s proposal.
The impeachment effort therefore arrives with electoral stakes attached, even though Green’s most recent attempt collapsed with substantial Democratic opposition.
With the midterm elections just 50 days away, every recorded vote could become material in the fight for congressional control.
Green’s primary defeat adds another wrinkle to his latest campaign against Trump.
Despite losing that contest by nearly 40% and being ousted from Congress, he is using his remaining time to launch yet another attempt to remove the president.
His stated grounds remain centered on the fatal shootings during federal immigration enforcement operations.
Green contends that the conduct in those incidents was unjustified and serious enough to qualify as high crimes and misdemeanors attributable to Trump.
The proposal will also test whether the Democrats who opposed Green’s previous effort intend to maintain that position.
Jeffries and 127 other Democrats helped sink the last attempt, showing that Green had failed to unite even his own party behind impeachment.
Nothing in the source indicates that those members have changed their positions since the June effort.
What is clear is that Green’s announcement places the impeachment question in front of Democrats again during the closing stretch before the midterm elections.
For Green, this is attempt number eight in a campaign that has repeatedly failed to secure enough backing.
For Democrats, it is another potentially awkward recorded vote, while Republicans may receive fresh material for their effort to keep control of both congressional chambers.
