Andy Biggs, a Republican from Arizona, has introduced a resolution calling for the removal of Judge James Boasberg from the U.S. District Court after Boasberg blocked President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-administration-limits-arrest-of-illegal-immigrants-at-courthouses\/\" title=\"Biden Administration Limits Arrest of Illegal Immigrants at Courthouses\">immigration enforcement actions<\/a>. Specifically, Boasberg issued an order preventing the transfer of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/baltimore-prosecutors-indict-11-gang-members-with-slew-of-charges\/\" title=\"Baltimore prosecutors indict 11 gang ... with slew of charges\">alleged members<\/a> of a criminal gang, Tren de Aragua, to a prison in El Salvador. This decision has prompted calls from othre Congressional members for impeachment, but Biggs argues that Congress has the authority to remove judges who do not behave appropriately without going through impeachment. He bases this claim on Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution, which allows Congress to regulate inferior federal courts and suggests that Boasberg\u2019s actions merit removal since thay interfere with the President&#8217;s execution of foreign policy. Biggs believes his resolution has a better chance of success than an impeachment vote, which would require a two-thirds majority in the Senate.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Rep.

Andy Biggs, a Republican from Arizona, introduced a resolution on Monday to oust Judge James Boasberg after he hindered President Donald Trump&#8217;s immigration enforcement actions. The chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued an order last month attempting to prevent Trump from transferring five illegal immigrants, alleged members of Tren de Aragua, to CECOT prison in El Salvador. Following this, other Congress members have called for Boasberg&#8217;s impeachment, with Rep. Brandon Gill from Texas proposing related legislation. However, Biggs argued that Congress has the power to remove Boasberg without going through impeachment procedures. According to a press release from his office, &#8220;Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution grants Congress authority over all federal courts below the U.S. Supreme Court and states that judges can only serve during good behavior.&#8221; The document further stated that this provision is distinct from Congress&#8217;s impeachment powers for &#8220;Treason, Bribery or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.&#8221; Biggs claimed Boasberg&#8217;s actions unjustly interfered with Trump&#8217;s foreign policy execution and were politically motivated; thus they constituted misbehavior warranting removal under the Good Behavior Clause. In his statement, Biggs emphasized that activist judges should not impose their political agendas over those elected by the American people and expressed confidence that his resolution would be more successful than an impeachment effort blocked by Senate Democrats requiring a two-thirds majority vote. He noted that his resolution asserts judges can be removed by simple majority as they are confirmed under Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution. The legislation accused Boasberg of violating his oath by obstructing Trump\u2019s executive authority and affirmed Congress\u2019s right to regulate federal courts and remove judges who do not maintain good behavior while in office<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2418815,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Picture-2025-04-02T000318.824.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[3636,52683,5514,52682],"class_list":["post-2418814","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-impeachment","tag-judgeboasberg","tag-oust","tag-repbiggs"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Picture-2025-04-02T000318.824.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2418814","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2418814"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2418814\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2418818,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2418814\/revisions\/2418818"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2418815"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2418814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2418814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2418814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
