Elon Musk Supports GOP Push to Impeach Judge Over Halt to Trump Deportation Order

Federal Judge James Boasberg temporarily blocked Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act, prompting a Republican-led impeachment effort backed by Musk.

  • Judge James Boasberg issued a 14-day restraining order against Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport suspected Venezuelan gang members.
  • The ruling halted ongoing deportations and required planes carrying deportees to return to the U.S. for further legal review.
  • Over 250 suspected members of the Tren de Aragua gang were deported to El Salvador before the ruling took effect, under a deal with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele.
  • Rep. Brandon Gill announced plans to file articles of impeachment against Boasberg, which Elon Musk publicly endorsed as 'necessary' on X.
  • The Trump administration has appealed the restraining order, with the case likely heading to higher courts for resolution.
