Chief Justice Roberts Defends Judiciary as Trump Allies Push for Impeachments

Roberts criticized Trump's call to impeach Judge Boasberg over a deportation ruling, intensifying partisan divisions over judicial independence.

Chief Justice John Roberts rebuked President Trump's call to impeach Judge James Boasberg, emphasizing that impeachment is not a response to judicial decisions.
Judge Boasberg blocked deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act, ruling that gangs do not qualify as hostile foreign governments under the law.
Representative Brandon Gill introduced articles of impeachment against Boasberg, accusing him of overstepping constitutional authority.
Trump supporters and MAGA commentators criticized Roberts, with some calling for his impeachment and others attacking the judiciary as politically biased.
The Republican-controlled House may impeach Boasberg, but the GOP lacks the Senate majority required for removal.
