Impeachment Movement Gains Momentum Against Judge Boasberg Amid GOP Hesitation

FIRST ON FOX: A resolution seeking the impeachment of U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg is gaining traction, even as House GOP leaders express reluctance to advance such a measure.

Last month, Representative Brandon Gill from Texas introduced the impeachment article following Boasberg’s emergency order that temporarily halted the Trump administration’s deportation flights, an action taken under the Alien Enemies Act.

Trump has publicly targeted Boasberg, demanding his impeachment due to the ongoing legal dispute.

Broader Concerns Over Judicial Actions

Over a dozen injunctions have been placed against various Trump policies, challenging issues that range from birthright citizenship reforms to efficiency measures within government departments.

In recent conversations with Fox News Digital, several rank-and-file Republican lawmakers conveyed their hesitance to back such impeachment efforts, suggesting that the resolution faces slim chances of success in the House.

Allegations Against Judge Boasberg

Gill’s resolution accuses Boasberg of overstepping his authority, claiming he has abused judicial power.
