Demand that Rep. Mike Bost (IL-12) act to impeach Trump and defund ICE!
Rep. Mike Bost, you must use the power you hold as a member of Congress to file articles of impeachment and force votes on impeachment and defunding ICE now, before the midterms.
- You must make public pro-impeachment and pro- defunding ICE statements to demonstrate your willingness to hold this administration accountable.
- You don’t have to wait for someone else to take the lead - you can file your own impeachment resolution against President Donald Trump and his enablers for high crimes and misdemeanors.
- You can draft legislation now to defund ICE.
- You can vote to take up the question of impeachment when articles are brought to the floor under Rule IX.
- You must publicly remind colleagues - Democrat and Republican - that impeachment is the constitutional remedy for a tyrant and that they share a responsibility to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
- You must call for the complete abolishment of ICE, the withdrawal of all funding for ICE, and the prosecution of ICE agents to the full extent of the law for all crimes committed against civilians regardless of immigration status.
President Trump is abusing the power of the office of the president. He has engaged in tyranny, treason, and obstruction of justice.
Tyranny
- Donald Trump and his enablers are tyrants, repeatedly violating the constitutional rights of the American people, suppressing their right to free speech, freedom of assembly, privacy, due process, and has attempted to remove their constitutionally guaranteed right to birthright citizenship. He has further acted as a tyrant towards the government, usurping from Congress congressionally mandated powers of war and of the purse. And, he has engaged in unchecked aggression on the global stage, unilaterally striking sovereign nations and threatening allies with military force.
Treason
- Trump and Defense Secretary Peter Hegseth openly described a planned “war from within” aimed at opposition-led U.S. cities, pressuring military leaders to comply and framing domestic political opponents as targets.
- The administration then backed up this rhetoric with actions, including deploying federalized National Guard and paramilitary forces, suppressing protest and dissent, and encouraging intimidation, amounting to a revolutionary program imposed by force rather than lawful political change.
- These deployments across state lines without consent, alongside defiance of courts and threats toward Congress, constitute an unlawful assault on state sovereignty and evidence of “levying war” against the United States.
Obstruction of Justice
- Donald Trump and Attorney General Pamela Bondi have obstructed justice by using federal agencies to delay and manipulate the release of Jeffrey Epstein-related files and shape public perception in order to conceal Trump’s ties to Epstein and avoid political and reputational fallout.
- For our country, we ask you to support the impeachment of Donald Trump and members of his Cabinet.
Why is this important?
This petition is intended to demonstrate to Rep. Mike Bost the scope and the scale of the massive political will of his constituents. Impeachment articles can be filed and brought to a vote by any member of Congress at any time using Rule IX. Likewise, Congress holds the power to defund and abolish ICE. They aren’t acting because they do not have the political will to do so. So we will lend them some of ours.
The goals for this petition to IMPEACH, CONVICT, REMOVE, DEFUND are:
- Ensure that Rep. Mike Bost understands how Trump’s crimes against the constitution translates into direct harm to his constituents.
- Ensure that Rep. Mike Bost understands that his constituents want him to assert his power as a member of a co-equal branch of government and lead on impeachment and defunding ICE by filing articles and forcing votes on both of these critical initiatives.
This petition is intended to demonstrate to Rep. Mike Bost that the push to impeach Trump, his enablers, and to defund ICE is a citizen-led demand that citizens will continue to pursue until Congress asserts itself and reigns in this unfit executive branch.
How it will be delivered
The petition will be delivered to Rep. Mike Bost's Mascoutah, IL, office at 2:30pm on March 9, 2026.
