Ilyan Omar has called for the impeachment of Hegseth.

U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar, a Democrat, wrote today: "Pete Hegseth has severely abused his authority as Secretary of Defense. He initiated an illegal war in Iran, carried out extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean, and consistently placed innocent civilians at risk. Accountability is required—Hegseth must be impeached now."

Commentary: Following their midterm election setbacks, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has become a primary target for Democratic criticism. Omar’s call for impeachment marks the opening salvo in a public effort to hold him accountable. Hegseth has been central to shaping U.S. policy toward Iran—a topic that resonated strongly with voters’ concerns during the recent election cycle. Democrats have seized on this momentum, attributing issues related to military escalation and civilian casualties directly to him. However, impeachment does not guarantee removal from office; it requires passage of articles of impeachment in the House of Representatives, followed by a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate for conviction.
