In a surprising turn of events, Chief Justice John Roberts has decided to ride to the rescue of the judicial system, admonishing former President Donald Trump for his call to impeach a judge who dared to block one of Trump’s deportation efforts. Yes, you read that right—Roberts felt compelled to remind everyone that disagreement with a judicial decision does not warrant a one-way ticket to an impeachment hearing. Apparently, all those years of legal training were put to good use when he penned this little gem.
Trump’s ire was directed at U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who issued a temporary block on deportations stemming from the 1789 Alien Enemies Act. This legislation allows the swift deportation of illegal immigrants, although Boasberg apparently felt it necessary to hit the pause button on the Trump administration’s latest actions. In perfectly Trumpian fashion, the former president took to TRUTH Social to voice his frustration, claiming that Boasberg should be impeached for protecting “vicious, violent, and demented criminals.” It’s almost as if those living in fantasy land have convinced themselves that criminal elements should be prioritized over the safety and security of law-abiding Americans.
The frail narrative painted by the judge and the ACLU suggests that humanitarian concerns take precedence over national security. Who knew that the likes of the Tren de Aragua—an alleged Venezuelan terror group—could charm their way into the American judicial system? Their attorneys managed to file a last-minute lawsuit just as the deportation flights were taking off, positioning themselves nicely to make an impact right as Trump’s administration appeared eager to fulfill its commitment to protect the U.S. border.

Critics of Trump’s style may celebrate Roberts’ statement as a triumph of the legal establishment, but the reality is that what they perceive as “independence” could just be a manifestation of another layer of judicial resistance. Boasberg, who was appointed by Barack Obama, continues to be the poster child for leftist judicial activism. Just when one might think the judicial branch could be tethered to the rule of law, a Democrat appointee steps in to wave the flag of judicial overreach.
As the saga unfolds, Boasberg has also graciously offered the Trump administration a deadline to answer questions about the legality of the deportations. Nothing screams urgency more than a judge taking a leisurely approach after already halting a government operation mid-flight. One can only hope that this delay doesn’t become the new norm, because time is frankly a luxury that should not be afforded to those who pose a danger to society. The lengths some in the judiciary are willing to go to protect criminals at the expense of law and order are rather alarming—and it seems like the courts might just be taking an extended vacation from reality.
