Roberts Defends Judiciary, Rebukes Trump's Impeachment Calls

News summary

U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare public statement rebuking President Donald Trump for calling for the impeachment of Judge James E. Boasberg, who blocked deportation flights for Venezuelan gang members. Roberts emphasized that impeachment is not an appropriate response to judicial decisions, underscoring the importance of judicial independence and the proper use of the appellate review process. Trump's criticism of Boasberg, labeling him a 'troublemaker and agitator,' came after the judge ruled against the use of the Alien Enemies Act to justify the deportations. Legal experts warn that Trump's comments represent an attempt to intimidate the judiciary and undermine its constitutional duties. This incident highlights ongoing tensions between the executive and judicial branches, particularly regarding judicial independence and accountability. Roberts’ statement serves as a defense of the judiciary against political pressure, which he has previously addressed during Trump's presidency.
