Earlier this year, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg gained national notoriety when he ordered the Trump administration to turn around a plane of deported migrants. Now, he’s been hit with articles of impeachment.

From the Daily Wire:
Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) filed the articles on Tuesday, saying in an X post, “I just filed Articles of Impeachment against radical activist Judge James Boasberg. Judge Boasberg abused his power by weaponizing the judiciary against critics of the Biden Administration. As part of the Arctic Frost Investigation, Judge Boasberg signed off on frivolous nondisclosure orders to conceal the fact that sitting US Senators were being surveilled. Not only was this action egregiously improper; it was a gross violation of the separation of powers. Judge Boasberg is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, is unfit for office, and should be impeached.”
Gill filed the articles after learning that Boasberg was the one who signed off on subpoenas that facilitated the surveillance of multiple Republicans in Congress — and barred anyone from informing those members that they were the subject of subpoenas.
“Chief Judge Boasberg has compromised the impartiality of the judiciary and created a constitutional crisis. He is shamelessly weaponizing his power against his political opponents, including Republican members of Congress who are faithfully serving the American people within their jurisdiction,” Gill told Fox News Digital in a statement.
These impeachment articles follow Senator Chuck Grassley’s reveal of Artic Frost, an FBI operation in which then-Attorney General Merrick Garland approved “some 400 subpoenas relating to 200 Republicans,” according to the Daily Wire. The Biden-era FBI even subpoenaed bank records from major Republican donors and PACs.
Arctic Frost has becomes one of the biggest political scandals of our time, with one senator calling it “100 times worse than Watergate.” And it would seem that Boasberg was a key part of this scandal, leading Representative Gill to characterize him as “unfit for the gavel.”
Will Boasberg be impeached and removed? That much remains to be seen. For now, however, let’s pray for wisdom for our lawmakers, as well as for God’s will to be done.
