On Tuesday, President Donald Trump slammed Chief Judge James Boasberg as a “Radical Left Lunatic” for blocking his administration from sending immigrants to a prison in El Salvador without due process.
Trump took to his Truth Social platform to attack Boasberg, who stopped the government from carrying out large-scale deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. This law is being used even though the United States is not at war with any of the countries from which undocumented immigrants have arrived.
“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!” Trump wrote. “I WON FOR MANY REASONS, IN AN OVERWHELMING MANDATE, BUT FIGHTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION MAY HAVE BEEN THE NUMBER ONE REASON FOR THIS HISTORIC VICTORY. 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!!!”
Trump’s call for Judge Boasberg’s impeachment comes as conservative editorial boards, like the ones from the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, criticized his administration for attacking judges who are questioning his use of the Alien Enemies Act for deportations.
