At least 9 new Dem members will carry Al Green’s mantle and try to impeach President Trump
EXCLUSIVE: At least 9 incoming progressive members of the House Democratic caucus are expected to support efforts to impeach President Donald Trump, continuing a push led by outgoing Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, Digital has learned.
Green and representatives from the Removal Coalition and Courage for Democracy Project discussed the effort with Digital after a Capitol Hill news conference, months after the Texas Democrat introduced articles of impeachment against Trump in August.
Green is counting on support from Reps.-elect Melat Kiros, D-Colo.; Dan Koh, D-Mass.; Chris Rabb, D-Pa.; Angela Gonzales-Torres, D-Calif.; and several other incoming Democrats to continue his impeachment efforts after he leaves Congress.
DEMOCRAT AL GREEN TO FORCE HOUSE-WIDE VOTE ON IMPEACHING TRUMP
«Impeachment is the only means for our future. We cannot deal with a president who engages in corruption,» Green told Digital. «The end is to have the president removed from office. I applaud the courageous members carrying these efforts into the next Congress.»
Green pointed to Trump’s cryptocurrency dealings as one example of what he characterized as corruption by the president.
REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK: DEMOCRATS FACE AN IMPEACHMENT TRACTOR BEAM THAT COULD DERAIL THEIR AFFORDABILITY MESSAGE
Gonzales-Torres told Digital she intends to continue Green’s efforts while representing the more than 100,000 Los Angeles voters she said elected her to Congress.
The coalition acknowledged uncertainty over whether its impeachment efforts would succeed, noting that even if the House approved articles against Trump, the Senate could again decline to convict him, as it did in Trump’s two previous impeachment trials.
TRUMP COULD FACE IMPEACHMENT IF DEMOCRATS SEIZE HOUSE MAJORITY, GOP LEADER WARNS
However, organizers expressed confidence that growing grassroots pressure could persuade additional Democratic lawmakers to support impeachment.
«The more we articulate this effort and talk about why it is so crucial that we get rid of Trump, the more support we will have,» Keira Havens, co-founder of the Courage for Democracy Project, told Digital.
Havens acknowledged that some Democrats who oppose Trump may still reject impeachment articles because they believe the allegations lack sufficient legal grounds or that conviction would fail in the Senate.
A constitutional expert affiliated with the Courage for Democracy Project also argued that Senate impeachment procedures could provide additional avenues for removing a president, citing Rule VIII. However, the Constitution gives the House the sole power of impeachment and the Senate the sole power to try impeachments.
PROGRESSIVES FUME AT HAKEEM JEFFRIES FOR SAYING DEMOCRATS WON’T ‘GET EVEN’ WITH TRUMP
Jessica Denson, identified as the founder of the Removal Coalition, criticized Democratic lawmakers who have prioritized congressional hearings and potential prosecutions of Trump administration officials over impeaching the president himself.
Denson called those lawmakers «spineless,» arguing that grassroots pressure could eventually push them to support the coalition’s demands. The coalition told Digital that «hearings and prosecutions aren’t enough,» and enough public backlash will lead any remaining Democratic lawmaker to get behind impeachment efforts.
The effort comes as Democrats prepare to take control of the House in January, potentially giving impeachment supporters a greater opportunity to advance resolutions against Trump.
Under the Constitution, impeachment requires a simple majority in the House, while conviction and removal from office require a two-thirds majority of senators present.
During and after the news conference, the coalition, consisting of the two advocacy organizations and incoming and outgoing lawmakers, told Digital it also intends to pursue impeachment proceedings against War Secretary Pete Hegseth.
The coalition argued that Hegseth should face impeachment alongside Trump, claiming that any wrongdoing uncovered involving the war secretary could also implicate the president.
However, a finding of wrongdoing by Hegseth would not automatically establish legal or constitutional liability for Trump.
Trump and Hegseth did not respond to Digital’s request for comment.

New Texas governor-elect strikes conciliatory tone toward Musk after campaigning against SpaceX deal
Texas’ Democratic Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa is striking a more conciliatory tone toward Elon Musk after campaigning against a proposed SpaceX land deal, saying she can work with his companies if they operate «on our terms.»
«As Governor, I’ll protect our land and our livelihoods – not sell out to the highest bidder – because Texans deserve a leader who puts the people first,» Hinojosa said in a campaign press release in October.
But having won her election, her tone has shifted.
TED CRUZ SAYS ‘BLUE TSUNAMI’ TOOK OVER TEXAS AFTER DEMOCRATS SWEPT STATEWIDE RACES
The governor-elect has hinted that she might be rethinking her relationship with Musk, underscoring the shifting considerations many Democrats critical of business titans are making as they prepare to govern and secure growth and investments for their constituencies.
«We can have a strong working relationship with Elon Musk and his companies,» Hinojosa said in an interview with CNN on Thursday, just two days after election night.
«But it has to be on our terms. It cannot be just running over the people of Texas, and that’s what changes now that I will be governor.»
Hinojosa’s public land concerns center on Boca Chica State Park, a coastal reserve spanning 1,000 acres at the southernmost point of Texas. The park sits just a short distance from SpaceX’s Starbase, one of its rocket launch sites.
A possible land sale to Musk has been in the works for some time.
A Cameron County Commission agenda notice from 2024 raised a prospect presented by SpaceX: a land swap. Texas would give 43 acres of Boca Chica to SpaceX in return for 477 acres in the nearby area so that the company could expand its launch facilities.
In August 2025, the commission approved a separate proposal authorizing TPWD to sell SpaceX four noncontiguous tracts totaling about 1.9 acres.
Last year, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission voted to approve that smaller deal.
«The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission adopts the Resolution attached as Exhibit A and authorizes the Executive Director to take all necessary steps to dispose of four tracts totaling approximately 1.9 acres at Boca Chica State Park,» the commission wrote in its agenda records.
MUSK ISSUES DIRE WARNING OVER 3 MOVES DEMS COULD MAKE IF THEY SWEEP WASHINGTON: ‘END OF DEMOCRACY’
During her first press conference after the election, Hinojosa didn’t rule out the project but noted that she had requested that the decision be stayed at least until she took office.
«This morning I was pleased to talk to the executive director of the Texas Parks and Wildlife to confirm that this issue was not on today’s agenda and to request that no action be taken out of respect for this transition,» Hinojosa said on Thursday.
Notably, Hinojosa bashed outgoing Republican Gov. Greg Abbott for even considering the deal with SpaceX, framing it as a capitulation to America’s wealthiest business owner.
«After 12 years of selling out Texas to his corporate donors and making working people foot the bill, Greg Abbott is handing over our land to the world’s only trillionaire. Let me be clear: Texas is not for sale,» Hinojosa wrote.
«This is the One Fight that unites us all: Are we going to be a Texas by and for the people, or is this the billionaires’ world and the rest of us just live here?»
Hinojosa’s transition team did not respond to an inquiry from Digital on whether the governor-elect’s outlook had changed regarding SpaceX or its ongoing negotiations with Texas.
It also did not respond to questions about what considerations might prevent Musk from securing the 1.9 acres.
Even so, Hinojosa’s language surrounding the land sale seemed to spark blowback from Musk. In a cryptic post to social media, Musk noted that he had relocated his company to Texas because of the state’s commitment to pro-business policies.
TEXAS OVERTAKES CALIFORNIA AS ‘AMERICA’S CENTER OF GRAVITY,’ CLAIMS TREASURY SEC BESSENT
«SpaceX and Tesla have prospered in Texas, because we were not constantly operating under an oppressive and extractive state government,» Musk said in a post to X.
«As California became increasingly difficult, due to extreme taxes and overregulation, we moved our major domestic expansions and HQ to Texas,» he added.
Having secured her gubernatorial election win over Abbott, Hinojosa will take the oath of office on Jan. 19, 2027.

Tribunal de Guatemala absuelve a dos estudiantes acusados en la ocupación del Paraninfo Universitario tras al elección de Walter Mazariegos
El Tribunal Noveno de Sentencia Penal absolvió a los estudiantes Sergio Morataya y Heizel Morales del delito de usurpación agravada, por el que enfrentaban una petición de seis años de prisión a raíz de la ocupación del Paraninfo Universitario, en la zona 1 de la Ciudad de Guatemala.
La jueza Sonia Villatoro concluyó el miércoles 11 de noviembre que el Ministerio Público (MP) no logró acreditar que ambos hubieran participado en la toma del inmueble ni que fueran responsables de los elementos incautados durante un allanamiento realizado en diciembre de 2023.
Morataya y Morales habían sido detenidos el 15 de diciembre de 2023 dentro del Paraninfo, en el contexto de las protestas universitarias contra la elección de Walter Mazariegos como rector de la Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala (USAC).
Sectores estudiantiles cuestionaron ese proceso electoral y sostuvieron que estuvo marcado por irregularidades; por esa razón, desconocieron la legitimidad del nombramiento de Mazariegos, quien aún es rector de la máxima casa de estudios superiores en Guatemala.
El tribunal descartó pruebas que vincularan a los dos acusados
Durante el debate, la Fiscalía sostuvo que los estudiantes participaron en una ocupación ilegal que afectó el funcionamiento de las oficinas instaladas en el edificio. También argumentó que el cierre se prolongó durante más de un año y provocó daños en un inmueble que la USAC considera parte del patrimonio nacional.
El MP presentó como indicios botellas de vidrio con trozos de tela, piezas de madera con alambre de púas, teléfonos celulares, machetes y una computadora. Sin embargo, la jueza Villatoro determinó que no existía una vinculación individualizada entre esos objetos y Morataya o Morales.
Según la resolución, tampoco quedó establecido que los recipientes de vidrio encontrados en el lugar constituyeran artefactos explosivos. La Fiscalía no pudo precisar el modo, el tiempo ni el lugar en que los dos estudiantes habrían cometido la usurpación agravada.
La decisión ordenó la libertad simple de ambos. La USAC participó como querellante adhesiva y respaldó la solicitud de condena planteada por el MP. Hasta ahora no se informó si la Fiscalía apelará el fallo.
Las autoridades universitarias no dialogaron con los manifestantes
La jueza también señaló que las autoridades de la USAC no buscaron un canal de comunicación con quienes mantenían la protesta en el Paraninfo.
Esa ausencia de diálogo impidió establecer si Morataya y Morales permanecían en el inmueble desde el inicio de la ocupación o cuál era su intervención específica.
El abogado defensor Juan Castro afirmó que el proceso no permitió demostrar que los estudiantes hubieran intentado apropiarse del edificio. Sostuvo que su presencia se inscribía en una protesta vinculada con la elección rectoral.
El caso atravesó varias etapas antes de llegar a juicio. En una primera declaración, los estudiantes obtuvieron falta de mérito. Más tarde, un juzgado dictó el sobreseimiento. No obstante, apelaciones del MP y de la USAC llevaron a la Sala Tercera Penal a revocar esas decisiones y ordenar que fueran procesados.
La toma del Paraninfo se originó en las protestas por la elección rectoral
Las movilizaciones comenzaron en abril de 2022, después de que grupos de estudiantes, docentes y profesionales cuestionaran la exclusión de cuerpos electorales opositores durante el proceso para elegir rector. Mazariegos fue electo el 14 de mayo de ese año con 72 votos de los 135 posibles.
El 20 de junio de 2022, estudiantes de distintas unidades académicas ocuparon el Paraninfo Universitario, ubicado entre la 12 y la 13 calles de la zona 1. Los manifestantes afirmaron que buscaban impedir que el edificio fuera utilizado para la juramentación del rector electo.
La protesta se extendió a la Ciudad Universitaria, situada en la zona 12 de la capital guatemalteca. El campus central fue ocupado desde el 19 de mayo de 2022 y permaneció bajo control de los manifestantes hasta el 9 de junio de 2023. Los grupos exigían repetir la elección de rector y cuestionaban las decisiones del Consejo Superior Universitario.

DNA links 4 grizzly bears to deadly attack on mother and daughter in Canada, officials say
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Four grizzly bears have been linked through DNA evidence to a deadly attack on a mother and daughter in British Columbia, prompting Canadian wildlife officers to kill all four animals, officials announced Tuesday.
The British Columbia Conservation Officer Service said forensic testing conclusively linked an adult female grizzly and her three offspring to the deaths of Jennifer Balcarras, 48, and her daughter, Selah Reed, 20, near Bella Coola.
The bears were captured over the weekend and killed in accordance with provincial human-wildlife conflict response guidelines to protect public safety, according to a Nov. 10 statement from the agency.

Investigators determined that the encounter likely involved predatory behavior, although officials did not elaborate on how the attack unfolded.
«This was a heartbreaking event for the families, the Nuxalk Nation and the Bella Coola community. We hope the efforts of everyone who responded, along with these findings, bring some measure of closure,» said Insp. Jeff Tyre in a news briefing.
More than a dozen conservation officers participated in the response, helping recover the victims, collect evidence and locate the bears while working in difficult terrain and weather conditions.

Balcarras, an art therapist, and Reed went missing after taking a walk on the Snooka West Trail near their home.
Family members contacted the Royal Canadian Mounted Police after Balcarras missed a scheduled online meet-up. Investigators found her vehicle at the trailhead before recovering her body on Nov. 2 and Reed’s body on Nov. 3.
The agency said DNA testing also confirmed the four bears were not involved in a separate 2025 grizzly bear attack on a school group near Bella Coola that injured 11 people, including students and teachers.
The investigation has concluded, although officials said further analysis will examine the response and circumstances surrounding the attack.

The conservation service said fatal grizzly bear attacks involving predatory behavior are rare and encouraged people traveling in bear country to leash pets, travel in groups and learn how to reduce the risk of wildlife encounters.
