Republicans move to impeach judges who block Trump

The administration of US President Donald Trump and federal judges have clashed over court injunctions that have blocked White House policies, and Republican members of Congress are moving to have some of the judges impeached.

On March 18, United States Congressman Brandon Gill of Texas introduced a resolution to impeach US District Judge James Boasberg for ordering a halt to the deportation of Venezuelans accused of being gang members.

The deportations were carried out after Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which he says grants him the authority to deport noncitizens without appearing before a judge.
