Summary
The Trump administration is facing heightened legal tensions with federal judges, particularly Judge James Boasberg, after a recent ruling on Venezuelan gang member deportations. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has called for the Supreme Court to intervene against what she deems 'activist judges.' Trump has expressed intent to impeach Boasberg, claiming he undermines executive power. The Department of Justice argues that the Alien Enemies Act allows the administration to proceed without judicial oversight. Despite Trump's rhetoric, Chief Justice John Roberts emphasized that impeachment is not an appropriate response to judicial decisions, reflecting a growing rift among Republicans on this issue.

Judge James Boasberg's order halting deportations has ignited political tensions, with Trump and officials calling for his impeachment while asserting that the judiciary should respect the executive's jurisdiction over foreign affairs.
