Rep. Donalds to Newsmax: Lawmakers Want to Rein in Anti-Trump Judges

Some Republicans on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee are considering measures to rein in federal judges who are ruling against President Donald Trump’s moves on deportation and other issues, Rep. Byron Donalds told Newsmax Tuesday. 

“There are members right now who are considering everything from being able to sanction, maybe censure some judges,” the Florida Republican said on Newsmax’s “Wake Up America.” “Some are even talking [about] as much as going through the procedure of the impeachment of federal judges.”

His comments come after Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, called for the impeachment of U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who Saturday imposed a 14-day restraining period on Trump’s use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport members of the Venezuelan criminal gang Tren de Aragua.
