A Republican lawmaker from the House has put forth articles of impeachment against the federal judge who halted the Trump administration’s deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act, as reported exclusively by Fox News on Monday.

“For several weeks, we have witnessed a number of activist judges attempting to obstruct the president from fulfilling not only the mandate given to him by voters but also his constitutional and democratic authority to ensure the safety of the American populace,” stated Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, in an interview with Fox News Digital. “This instance exemplifies yet another case of a judge overstepping his authority.”

Gill’s resolution charges U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg with misusing his power by imposing an emergency injunction against the Trump administration’s attempts to deport illegal immigrants under a wartime statute established in 1798.

Recently, President Donald Trump invoked this law to expel members of the Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua from the United States.

“Chief Judge Boasberg ordered President Trump to redirect planes midair that were carrying individuals linked to Tren De Aragua, a recognized Foreign Terrorist Organization,” the resolution stated.

“Such actions endanger national security, constitute an abuse of judicial power, and disrupt the proper functioning of the judiciary.

By exercising his authority, Chief Judge Boasberg has sought to usurp power from the Executive Branch and interfere with the will of the American people.”
