Elon Musk Supports GOP Push to Impeach Judge Over Trump Deportation Block

Judge James Boasberg temporarily halted Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan gang members, prompting backlash from Republicans and Musk.

• U.S. District Judge James Boasberg issued a 14-day restraining order on President Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to expedite deportations of Venezuelan gang members, citing constitutional concerns.
• Republican Congressman Brandon Gill announced plans to file articles of impeachment against Boasberg, with Elon Musk publicly supporting the move as 'necessary.'
• The Alien Enemies Act, invoked by Trump, is a rarely used wartime law last applied during World War II, raising legal and historical debates about its use in this context.
• The deportation plan targeted members of the Tren de Aragua gang, which Trump had designated as a terrorist organization, citing threats to U.S. security and sovereignty.
• A hearing is scheduled for March 21 to determine whether the temporary injunction on deportations will be extended as legal challenges proceed.
