On Tuesday, A house Republican filed articles of impeachment against U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who recently ordered the Trump administration to stop deportation flights being conducted under the Alien Enemies Act.
“For the past several weeks, we’ve seen several rogue activist judges try to impede the president from exercising, not only the mandate voters gave him, but his democratic and constitutional authority to keep the American people safe,” Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital. “This is another example of a rogue judge overstepping his…authority.”
Gill’s resolution, first obtained by Fox News Digital, accused U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg of abusing his power in levying an emergency pause on the Trump administration’s plans to deport illegal immigrants under a wartime authority first issued in 1798, which President Donald Trump recently invoked to get members of the criminal Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua out of the U.S.
“Chief Judge Boasberg required President Trump to turn around planes midair that had aliens associated with Tren De Aragua, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization,” the resolution said. “This conduct jeopardizes the safety of the nation, represents an abuse of judicial power, and is detrimental to the orderly functioning of the judiciary. Using the powers of his office, Chief Judge Boasberg has attempted to seize power from the Executive Branch and interfere with the will of the American people.”
In a brief interview with Fox News Digital shortly before filing his resolution, Gill suggested he wanted the matter to go through the House in traditional form – which would first put the resolution in front of the House Judiciary Committee, where Gill is a member.
“I’ll be talking to [Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio] about it,” Gill said. “I think the best way to do this…is to go through the judiciary committee, which is where impeachment of judges runs through. I think the more we can stick with that plan, the better.”

SPOT ON GUYS!!! THESE ACTIVIST JUDGES DON’T NEED TO BE ON ANY TYPE OF BENCH!!! SEVERAL OF THESE IMPEACHMENTS SHOULD SEND A SIGNAL TO THE OTHER ACTIVIST JUDGES FLOATING IN THE LEFTIST CESSPOOL!!!
Appropriate action against this judge allowing himself to be a roadblock for the leftist agenda! At least this Congressman is not standing on the steps of the Supreme Court spewing direct physical threats to 2 Supreme Court Justices.
The Constitution says the president has the plenary (absolute) authority over any judge, no matter where he has jurisdiction.
Really?
Not according to Article II of the Constitution of The United States of America! The President shall nominate and appoint (with the advice and consent of the Senate), but not remove, Judges of the supreme court. It does not grant the President power over any other justices!
Justice Served
WE have repeatedly seen the judiciary weaponized against this Administration of the Executive Branch with warnings of no reprisals coming out of the SCOTUS (Judicial Branch). If impeaching a few of these jurists is how to make this injustice stop, then I am all for it. Radical, biased jurists overstepping their authority and/or jurisdiction are making a mockery of our divided system of governance and using the law to further their own agendas.
These liberal, biased demo judges need to learn that Trump has the authority & to leave him alone. This is what the American people want, this is one of the reasons why Trump was voted for.
