Impeaching James E. Boasberg, United States District Court Chief Judge for the District of Columbia, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
HRES 229 is a formal House resolution impeaching Chief Judge James E. Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. It accuses him of abusing judicial power by interfering with President Trump's enforcement of immigration policies under the Alien Enemies Act, specifically blocking efforts to remove aliens linked to the Tren de Aragua terrorist group and ordering planes to turn around midair. The resolution claims these actions violated separation of powers by second-guessing the President's constitutional authority without judicial authority. This is a procedural impeachment resolution pending Senate action, not a law affecting the public.
