GOP reviews options against 'activist judges' hindering Trump

foxnews.com

House Speaker Mike Johnson's office announced that Republicans are considering options to confront what they call "activist judges." These judges are seen as obstacles to the Trump administration's agenda. Johnson believes these judges threaten the rule of law and separation of powers. This development follows a recent court order from U.S. District Judge James Boasberg. The judge temporarily stopped the Trump administration's deportation flights of illegal immigrants. This order is connected to the administration's use of an old law to deport Venezuelan nationals. Trump reacted strongly to Boasberg's decision, suggesting that the judge should be impeached. He criticized the judge for blocking immigration actions and expressed concerns about violent criminals in the U.S. Republican officials have voiced their frustration with judicial decisions that stop Trump's policies. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller condemned these rulings as "judicial tyranny." As discussions continue in the House, the Senate Judiciary Committee plans to hold a hearing on the issue soon. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between the executive branch and the judiciary regarding immigration policies.
