Former college basketball coach unleashes anti-ICE rant, calls on Republicans to impeach Trump

Former Notre Dame Fighting Irish women’s basketball head coach Muffet McGraw raged against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and President Donald Trump on Wednesday.

McGraw claimed the U.S. was in “crisis” and that Republicans should turn on Trump and impeach him.

“Our nation is in crisis,” a statement from her X account read. “We continued to watch the assault on our democracy with ICE terrorizing our cities, kidnapping, assaulting and killing our citizens. The police are powerless and the FBI is complicit. In the past, we would have called on the National Guard but they have been weaponized as well. We can take some solace in seeing the huge number of people who are unafraid to take to the streets in protest but our outrage can’t be selective. We can’t just protest when White people get killed. We the people means all of us. We need accountability for the crimes ICE is committing and we need it now, but we also need something much more important.

“Something that we are desperate to find and that’s HOPE. We need hope that Congress will rise to the challenge and fulfill their oath of office. We need hope that Republicans will grow a spine and impeach this megalomaniac and restore the values that we believed in before this administration took over. We need our democracy back. But until that day comes I will do what I can and stay in the fight – I hope you will too.”
