Rep. Green urges body cameras for ICE, denounces presidential "meme coin" and signals intent to file articles of impeachment
Summary
Rep. Green used his 60‑minute special order to press for body and dash cameras for ICE officers, accused a presidential cryptocurrency of functioning as a Ponzi scheme with large investor losses, and announced he plans to file articles of impeachment when the House is next in session.

The gentleman from Texas (Representative Green) was recognized for a 60‑minute special order and used the time to discuss two major topics: enforcement by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and a cryptocurrency the speaker described as associated with the President.
On ICE, Green said briefings showed officers lacked body cameras and dash cameras in incidents where lives were lost; he said briefing participants indicated body cameras would be in place within 60 days and that dash cameras were being considered. "We found, of course, what we knew, and that is that there was not a body camera on the ICE officers who took the life of Mister Lorenzo Salgado Araujo," he said, and he urged reforms including identifiable uniforms and warrants for entry.
Green also criticized a presidential "meme coin," alleging it behaved as a Ponzi scheme and that nearly one million people lost billions while the President earned significant daily gains. "This, my friends, is the President's Ponzi scheme," he said on the floor, summarizing his view of investor losses and executive gains.
Toward the close of his remarks, Green said he would pursue articles of impeachment when the House next is in session, saying he planned to publish the articles before filing them with the Clerk so members and the public could read them in advance. "File these articles of impeachment," he told colleagues, and concluded by yielding back.
Green's floor speech mixed calls for administrative reforms, public‑safety arguments, and forceful political allegations; the remarks were delivered as a privileged special order and do not by themselves trigger formal House action beyond any filings he later pursues.
