A federal judge who blocked President Donald Trump’s order to deport suspected Venezuelan gang members is now facing impeachment threats from Congress.
Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) announced on Monday that he will file Articles of Impeachment against U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, calling him an “activist judge” who has repeatedly overstepped his authority. The move comes after Boasberg issued an emergency ruling halting Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport alleged members of the Tren de Aragua gang.
“I’ll be filing Articles of Impeachment against activist judge James Boasberg this week,” Gill posted on X, alongside a screenshot of a New York Post report highlighting Boasberg’s decision to block deportation flights.
