Trump Defies Courts, Seeks Impeachment of Judges

Donald Trump has escalated his attacks on the judiciary by calling for the impeachment of U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who blocked his plan to deport Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare public rebuke of Trump, emphasizing that impeachment is not an appropriate response to judicial disagreement and that the appellate review process exists for such matters. Trump's administration has openly defied court orders, including the deportation of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador despite a judge's ruling against it, igniting a potential constitutional crisis. Trump's rhetoric against judges has intensified, labeling them as 'crooked' and 'radical', while his allies have echoed similar sentiments, questioning judicial authority. This confrontation raises serious concerns about the balance of power and the rule of law in the U.S. legal system. The situation reflects a broader trend of the Trump administration undermining judicial decisions, which could set a dangerous precedent for executive power.
