The same judge who recently halted President Trump from deporting Venezuelan gang members apparently took a lovely little junket to Sun Valley, Idaho, where he rubbed elbows with people who aren’t exactly MAGA hat enthusiasts.

And wouldn’t you know it? Just months after attending this privately-funded legal conference with distinctly anti-Trump themes and speakers, Judge Boasberg swooped in to block the deportation of illegal alien gang members. The conference, featuring sessions on the “Role of Judges in a Democracy” and “State of Democracy,” was sponsored by organizations that have consistently funded anti-Trump immigration initiatives. Nothing suspicious there, right?

Republicans in Congress aren’t taking this sitting down. GOP representatives are now moving to impeach judges they see as activists in robes, including Judge Boasberg, whose recently revealed connections raise serious questions about his impartiality in cases involving Trump administration policies.

Following the Anti-Trump Money Trail

The connections don’t end there. John Kroger, the Rodel Institute’s CEO, has made his feelings about Trump crystal clear. He stated last year that Trump was “disqualified” from being president, adding that “calling the convicted felons who attacked the Capitol on January 6 ‘patriots’ and ‘hostages,’ giving them a salute, and promising them pardons disqualifies you from being president.”

The money backing the conference comes from organizations actively involved in fighting Trump’s immigration policies. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund has donated considerable cash to the Brennan Center for Justice, which opposes Trump’s policies through litigation. The Hewlett Foundation, another sponsor, proclaimed its unflattering view of Trump, criticizing what they called his “baseless efforts to overturn the election results.”

Of the 12 federal judges attending the conference, nine were nominated by Democrats Barack Obama or Joe Biden, while only three were Trump appointees. Just a little lopsided, don’t you think?

Congress Fights Back: The Impeachment Option

Republican lawmakers are taking action against what they see as judicial activism designed to thwart President Trump’s agenda. Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) has filed articles of impeachment against Judge Boasberg, accusing him of abusing his power by pausing Trump’s deportation order under the 1789 Alien Enemies Act.

“Judge Boasberg, who stands to benefit from his own injunction, is attempting to unilaterally obstruct the president’s agenda and defy the will of the American people,” said Georgia Republican Rep. Andrew Clyde, who has himself filed articles of impeachment against another judge blocking Trump’s policies.

Clyde didn’t mince words when describing what he sees as the current strategy from the left: “Judicial activism is the Left’s latest form of lawfare. Congress bears the responsibility and the constitutional authority to hold activist judges accountable through impeachment.”

The mounting Republican efforts prompted an unusual statement from U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, who argued that “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision.”

When Judges Play Politics, Americans Pay the Price

The revelations about Judge Boasberg’s connections to anti-Trump foundations and speakers raise fundamental questions about the impartiality of federal judges deciding cases directly related to the president’s policies. The American people elected Trump with a clear mandate to address immigration issues, including the deportation of dangerous gang members. Yet unelected judges with questionable impartiality are standing in the way.

When federal judges with apparent political biases can single-handedly block the elected president from enforcing immigration laws, it creates a constitutional crisis where the judiciary effectively nullifies the executive branch’s statutory authority. The separation of powers becomes meaningless if judges can override presidential actions based on their personal political preferences rather than the law.

As more information emerges about the connections between judges blocking Trump’s agenda and anti-Trump organizations, the case for Congress to exercise its constitutional oversight becomes stronger. The American people deserve judges who will apply the law impartially, not advance a political agenda from the bench.

Key Takeaways:

• Judge James Boasberg attended a private conference with anti-Trump speakers and sponsors months before ruling against Trump.
• The conference was funded by organizations that actively oppose Trump’s immigration policies and featured speakers who had publicly criticized Trump.
• Republican lawmakers are pursuing impeachment against judges they see as activists.
