A Republican congressman has filed articles of impeachment against U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg after he blocked the Trump administration’s effort to deport members of a Venezuelan gang under a 1798 wartime authority. The move has sparked legal and political battles over judicial power and executive authority.
Key Facts:
- Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) introduced a resolution to impeach Judge James Boasberg for blocking the Trump administration’s deportation of Tren de Aragua gang members.
- Boasberg issued an emergency restraining order halting the flights, forcing Trump to turn around planes midair.
- Gill accused the judge of abusing his power and interfering with Trump’s constitutional authority.
- Trump backed the impeachment push, calling Boasberg a “Radical Left Lunatic” and demanding his removal.
- Chief Justice John Roberts stated that impeachment is not the correct response to judicial disagreements, but Gill is moving forward regardless.
The Rest of The Story:
The controversy began when Judge Boasberg issued a 14-day restraining order against deportation flights for illegal aliens associated with the Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua.
Human rights groups argued that innocent Venezuelans with asylum claims could be caught up in the removals, prompting the legal challenge.
Trump, invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, had ordered their deportation, citing national security concerns.
However, Boasberg’s ruling ordered the administration to turn around planes midair, an unprecedented judicial intervention.

The administration later clarified that the flights had already departed before Boasberg’s written order was officially entered.
House Republicans, led by Gill, view this as another case of liberal judges obstructing Trump’s efforts to secure the border.
With Trump’s strong backing, the impeachment resolution has gained traction among GOP lawmakers, though legal experts predict a tough road ahead.

Commentary:
Liberal-appointed judges have repeatedly obstructed Trump’s policies, using the courts as a political weapon.
From immigration to executive orders, activist judges have worked tirelessly to undermine the will of the voters who elected Trump to secure the border.
This case is no different.
Judge Boasberg’s decision to block deportations raises serious ethical concerns.
His own daughter is tied to an NGO that provides legal aid to illegal immigrants, including members of the same gang Trump was trying to remove.
This NGO, indirectly funded by U.S. taxpayers through government grants, represents a glaring conflict of interest.
LAWFARE: The Obama judge blocking Trump's deportation of illegal criminal gang members has a daughter who's NGO provides legal services to illegals including TdA & MS-13 members and is funded by government grants (indirectly via USAID).

If Boasberg were an ethical jurist, he would have recused himself instead of stepping in to protect criminal aliens.
The judicial branch is not above accountability.
While Chief Justice Roberts may argue that impeachment is an inappropriate remedy, the Constitution allows it for judges who overstep their authority.
Respectfully, Mr. Chief Justice, both James Madison and Thomas Jefferson disagree with you. So does the Constitution.
We are going to keep the impeachments coming. https://t.co/XprO5PS2mB

If obstructing national security decisions to protect criminals isn’t an impeachable offense, what is?
The left has used the courts to push its open-border agenda, making it nearly impossible for Trump to carry out his mandate.
If the judiciary can unilaterally override the president’s authority, then elections become meaningless.
It’s time to hold these activist judges accountable.
The Bottom Line:
Judge Boasberg’s ruling is another example of the judiciary blocking Trump’s immigration policies, despite clear national security concerns.
His conflict of interest, coupled with his interference in deportation flights, raises serious questions about judicial integrity.
House Republicans are right to pursue impeachment—America cannot afford unelected judges dictating immigration policy.
