Archbishop is a title. My understanding is that they can be fired, but once he is fired he would remain a bishop for life.
Being a bishop is a title that cannot normally be removed as it involves Holy Orders (i.e. a sacrament) and stays with you for life.

Its called forced laicization, more casually referred to as defrocking.Only by secular neophytes. Neither word appears in Canon Law. The correct term is dismissal.

My point is that I statehood wouldn’t seem to be a matter for the Vatican’s consideration one way or the other.

Per Canon Law, Nieves can be dismissed from the clerical state and excommunicated.

The thing is, he forces his political views on the parishioners, and that was the source of one of the complaints: asking the Vatican to tell the Archbishop to cease and desist from engaging in island politics. He just won’t stop.

What is difference between “dismissed from the clerical state” and “forced laicization”?

One term is canonical and one term is secular.

Send a cardinal to deliver a formal written declaration of his excommunication and declaring him apostate.

I think the United States may have something to say about Europeans sending government serving mercenaries to operate over here in our neighborhood.

But he can take away his rights to perform mass, hear confessions, etc.
Which is what will happen. He’ll do exactly that - call the archbishop to Rome. If the archbishop refuses to come then he’ll be excommunicated. He’ll appoint a new archbishop.

This article at
Vatican Insider says the Holy See cleared the "pedophile-protector" charge levied against against the Archbishop.
Absent that charge, I see no grounds for dismissal. An admonishment, perhaps, but not dismissal.
