A House Republican lawmaker has introduced articles of impeachment against the federal judge who blocked the Trump administration’s deportation flights conducted under the Alien Enemies Act, Fox News reported exclusively on Monday.

“For the past several weeks, we’ve seen several rogue activist judges try to impede the president from exercising, not only the mandate voters gave him, but his democratic and constitutional authority to keep the American people safe,” Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital. “This is another example of a rogue judge overstepping his…authority.”

Gill’s resolution accuses U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg of abusing his authority by imposing an emergency halt on the Trump administration’s efforts to deport illegal immigrants under a wartime power established in 1798. President Donald Trump recently invoked the law to remove members of the Venezuelan criminal gang Tren de Aragua from the U.S.

“Chief Judge Boasberg required President Trump to turn around planes midair that had aliens associated with Tren De Aragua, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization,” the resolution said. “This conduct jeopardizes the safety of the nation, represents an abuse of judicial power, and is detrimental to the orderly functioning of the judiciary. Using the powers of his office, Chief Judge Boasberg has attempted to seize power from the Executive Branch and interfere with the will of the American people.”

However, later in the day, the judge pushed back during a hearing in his courtroom, per The Associated Press, saying to the U.S. attorney for the administration, “I’m just asking how you think my equitable powers do not attach to a plane that has departed the U.S., even if it’s in international airspace.”
