After Obama-appointed Judge James Boasberg issued an order Saturday halting President Donald Trump’s<\/a> rapid deportation of Venezuelan gang members, Texas GOP Rep. Brandon Gill swiftly announced plans to file articles of impeachment in an effort to remove him.<\/p>\n

Gill made the announcement on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday, noting he would be filing the motion this week. In a subsequent tweet from Elon Musk,<\/a> the entrepreneur turned Trump advisor responded simply, “Necessary.”<\/p>\n

“The very worst judges \u2013 those who repeatedly flout the law \u2013 should at least be put to an impeachment vote, whether that vote succeeds or not,” Musk followed up in a separate post on X Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TOM HOMAN CALLS OUT \u2018RADICAL\u2019 JUDGE FOR \u2018DEFYING LOGIC\u2019 WITH RULING TO STALL TRUMP DEPORTATIONS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Republicans have been piling on Boasberg after he issued a 14-day restraining order halting the Trump administration from deporting violent Venezuelan gang members who entered the U.S. illegally, via powers laid out in the centuries-old Alien Enemies Act.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last used during World War II, the Alien Enemies Act was implemented in advance of a potential war with the French at the time, due to fears that immigrants would sympathize with France. The law provides the president broad powers to imprison or deport noncitizens during a time of war. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“Another day, another judge unilaterally deciding policy for the whole country. This time to benefit foreign gang members,” Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa,<\/a> chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, posted on X. “If the Supreme Court or Congress doesn\u2019t fix, we\u2019re headed towards a constitutional crisis. Senate Judiciary Cmte taking action.”<\/p>\n

Boasberg’s ruling came in response to a suit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and left-wing legal advocacy group Democracy Forward. The lawsuit alleged that Trump’s intent to use his “wartime authority” to deport dangerous illegal immigrants was unlawful, since the U.S. is not in the midst of a “declared war.”<\/p>\n

The lawsuit followed a proclamation signed by Trump on Saturday, which alleged that violent gang members belonging to the Venezuelan-based Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang were “conducting irregular warfare and undertaking hostile actions against the United States.” Last month, Trump moved to designate a slew of Mexican drug cartels,<\/a> including TdA, as “Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs).”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Gill to glean more exact details about when he plans to introduce articles of impeachment against Boasberg, but did not hear back in time for publication of this story.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
