Chief Justice John Roberts issued a statement criticizing President Donald Trump and his allies for calls to impeach judges whose rulings have gone against the administration’s policies. Comments quickly spread online condemning the clear case of Judicial Overreach from left-leaning judges attempting to stop the Trump administration’s deportation of more than 250 Foreign Terrorist Organization members to El Salvador.
For reference, this unprecedented intervention by Chief Justice Roberts follows President Trump’s demands to impeach Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. President Trump rightfully called out Boasberg for temporarily blocking deportations of Tren de Aragua (TdA) members, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization with thousands of members, many of whom have unlawfully infiltrated the United States and are conducting irregular warfare and undertaking hostile actions against the United States.
President Trump spoke his mind publicly on Truth Social, making it clear how he feels about Judge Boasberg. His post reads, “This Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, was not elected President – He didn’t WIN the popular VOTE (by a lot!), he didn’t WIN ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, he didn’t WIN 2,750 to 525 Counties, HE DIDN’T WIN ANYTHING!”
The President continued, clarifying that Judge Boasberg should be impeached for temporarily blocking the deportations. Continuing his post, he said, “I’m just doing what the VOTERS wanted me to do. This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges’ I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!! WE DON’T WANT VICIOUS, VIOLENT, AND DEMENTED CRIMINALS, MANY OF THEM DERANGED MURDERERS, IN OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
Chief Justice Roberts made his statement, escalating tensions between the executive and judiciary branches. He stated, “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”
Despite Roberts’ warrants, President Trump remains unconvinced. He countered Chief Justice Roberts once again on Truth Social, posting, “No District Court Judge, or any Judge, can assume the duties of the President of the United States. Only Crime and Chaos would result. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Here is President Donald Trump in a clip from the Ingram Angle interview discussing his response to the Chief Justice:

Several Republican X accounts rallied behind Trump’s impeachment calls. One X account added, “Roberts can’t control judge impeachments; Congress holds that power. Trump’s calls to remove activist judges like Boasberg are justified; they overreach, undermining our rights and border security. The judiciary needs accountability!
Another account on X commented on the Russia Hoax FISA court connection between Chief Justice Roberts and Judge Boasberg. They added on X, “Chief Justice John Roberts doesn’t like Trump demanding the removal of DC Judge Boasberg from the bench b/c it was Roberts who made the (ill-advised) decision to appoint Boasberg to a 7-year term on the corrupt FISA Court that rubber-stamped Comey & McCabe’s FISAs to spy on Trump”
The clear case of Judicial overreach by Judge James Boasberg warrants President Trump’s reaction to remove left-lining judges from the ability to make detrimental decisions on behalf of the American public. Chief Justice Roberts’ defense reignites conservatives on the dangers of judicial actions encroaching on executive authority, weakening public trust, and undermining executive powers essential for maintaining security and sovereignty.
