Iranian Parliament Impeaches Finance Minister Amid Economic Crisis

Donald Trump's allies have intensified calls for the impeachment of U.S. District Judge James Boasberg after he blocked the deportation of migrants under the Alien Enemies Act. Trump echoed these sentiments on social media, labeling Boasberg a 'Crooked Judge' deserving of impeachment. In response, Supreme Court Justice John Roberts issued a rare statement emphasizing that impeachment should not be a tool for retaliation against judicial decisions, but rather reserved for serious misconduct. Boasberg is among several judges targeted by House Republicans, with various impeachment resolutions being introduced against other judges as well. The historical context of judicial impeachment suggests it is meant for egregious violations rather than disagreements over rulings. As these political tensions rise, the implications for the judiciary's independence are significant.
