Chief Justice John Roberts strongly rebuked President Trump's suggestion to impeach federal judges after a ruling against Trump's deportation plans. In a rare public statement, Roberts affirmed that impeachment is not a suitable response to judicial disagreement, emphasizing the importance of the normal appellate review process. Trump's escalating rhetoric against the judiciary, particularly targeting Judge James E. Boasberg, highlights the ongoing tension between the executive and judicial branches amidst Trump's controversial immigration policies, showcasing the delicate balance of power within the U.S. government.
"For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision," Roberts said in a rare statement.
Trump described U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg as an unelected 'troublemaker and agitator.'
