President Donald Trump has called for the impeachment of a federal judge in response to a recent ruling blocking deportation flights to El Salvador. In a fiery Truth Social post on Tuesday, Trump appeared to be referring to U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg, an Obama-appointed judge who has faced criticism over his immigration-related decisions.
Trump Slams “Radical Left” Judge Over Immigration Ruling
In his post, Trump blasted the judge as a “Radical Left Lunatic”, accusing him of undermining his administration’s efforts to curb illegal immigration.
🗣 Trump’s Key Statements:
✔ Calls Boasberg a “troublemaker and agitator” who was appointed by Barack Obama.
✔ Emphasizes his own 2024 victory, reminding followers that he won all seven swing states and 2,750 out of 3,275 counties.
✔ Declares illegal immigration was a key reason for his historic election victory.
📢 Trump’s direct quote:
“This Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, was not elected President—He didn’t WIN the popular VOTE (by a lot!), he didn’t WIN ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, he didn’t WIN 2,750 to 525 Counties, HE DIDN’T WIN ANYTHING! I WON FOR MANY REASONS, IN AN OVERWHELMING MANDATE, BUT FIGHTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION MAY HAVE BEEN THE NUMBER ONE REASON FOR THIS HISTORIC VICTORY.”
Trump Calls for Judge’s Impeachment
Trump did not hold back, demanding that Boasberg—like other judges he has criticized—be removed from office.
💬 Trump’s Impeachment Demand:
✔ Accuses the judiciary of corruption, saying he is forced to appear before “Crooked Judges.”
✔ Warns that blocking deportations allows “vicious, violent, and demented criminals” to remain in the U.S.
✔ Calls for immediate action, urging lawmakers to impeach judges who prioritize left-wing policies over public safety.
📢 Trump’s direct quote:
“I’m just doing what the VOTERS wanted me to do. This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!! WE DON’T WANT VICIOUS, VIOLENT, AND DEMENTED CRIMINALS, MANY OF THEM DERANGED MURDERERS, IN OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
The Controversy Surrounding Judge Boasberg’s Ruling
Boasberg’s recent decision blocked the Biden administration from carrying out deportation flights to El Salvador, a move that immigration hawks argue endangers national security.
🔍 Why Is This Ruling Controversial?
✔ Critics argue that blocking deportations allows violent criminals to remain in the U.S.
✔ Proponents claim that deportation policies must be more humane and comply with international law.
✔ Trump and conservatives see it as another example of judicial activism interfering with national security.
