'Repulsive. No dictators here,' one of the protester's signs read. Another said: 'Congress do your jobs. Impeach now!'
The protests come amid an ongoing impeachment inquiry into Trump, announced by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi late last month. At the heart of the proceedings is a July phone call made between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which the U.S. president asked his foreign counterpart to investigate the family of his 2020 domestic rival former Vice President Joe Biden.
As congressional Democrats continued to gather information for the ongoing impeachment inquiry, Trump abruptly shifted policy last week and withdrew some U.S. troops out of areas in northern Syria. The U.S. forces were deployed to support Kurdish troops in fighting the Islamic State Shortly after Trump announced the decision, Turkey began its offensive against Kurdish forces in the area.
Trump's decision has since evolved into another major controversy for the president's administration, with bipartisan lawmakers in Congress—including some of Trump's usually-staunch supporters—sharply criticizing the move.File photo: Demonstrators gather in Lafayette Square during a demonstration organized by the American Civil Liberties Union protesting President Donald Trump's declaration of emergency powers on February 18, 2019 in Washington, DC.
