Summary
Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare statement rejecting Trump’s call to impeach U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who ruled against Trump’s deportation plans.
Roberts declared “impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision.”
Trump had labeled Boasberg a “troublemaker and agitator” on social media after the judge blocked deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
The conflict escalated after the administration allegedly ignored Boasberg’s verbal order to return deportation flights. Legal experts called Trump’s demand “a direct threat to judicial independence.”
“Chief Justice John Roberts furrows his brow and shakes his head while consistently ruling in favor of Donald Trump’s agenda.”
