The American people spoke loud and clear in 2024, giving President Donald Trump a resounding mandate to enact his America First policies. Yet, a cabal of activist judges, cloaked in judicial robes, is waging a relentless war to obstruct the will of the nation. These rogue judges, often appointed by previous administrations, are abusing their authority to block Trump’s agenda, from securing our borders to restoring constitutional order.
A prime example of this judicial overreach is Obama-appointed Judge James Boasberg, whose actions have sparked outrage and exposed the dangerous trend of unelected bureaucrats undermining the executive branch.
Boasberg’s latest stunt involved threatening the Trump administration with criminal contempt over a deportation case, a move so egregious that the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals stepped in to slap it down. In a 2-1 decision, the court tossed Boasberg’s order, which falsely claimed the administration violated a March 15 temporary restraining order (TRO) by deporting alleged foreign gang members to El Salvador. The Supreme Court had already nullified Boasberg’s TRO in a 5-4 ruling, yet he persisted in his crusade to handcuff the administration.
As Judge Neomi Rao, a Trump appointee, sharply noted, “The district court used the threat of criminal contempt to coerce the Executive Branch to comply with an order it had no authority to enforce. And it directed that coercion toward the Executive’s exercise of its foreign affairs power. The significance of the district court’s error, coupled with the potential for abuse in future cases, justifies our intervention at this stage of the proceedings.”
This wasn’t just a legal misstep but also a deliberate power grab. Boasberg’s actions threatened to spark “many grave conflicts between the Judicial Branch and the Executive Branch at its highest levels,” according to Judge Gregory Katsas, another Trump appointee.
Katsas pointed out that Boasberg’s order “uses the threat of criminal prosecution to pressure the Executive Branch to assert custody of suspected enemy aliens outside the country, with a view to bringing them back into the country, or else to endure a court directed prosecution by a court appointed attorney presumably not subject to the Attorney General’s control.” This kind of judicial meddling in foreign policy and executive authority is exactly what the Founders warned against.
Boasberg’s overreach didn’t stop at the courtroom. The Department of Justice filed a misconduct complaint against him on July 30 for making “improper public comments about President Trump and his Administration.” During a judicial conference in March, Boasberg told Chief Justice John Roberts that he and other judges feared “that the Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts leading to a constitutional crisis,” according to a memo reported by the Federalist.
These remarks, aired publicly, reveal a bias that taints his rulings and fuels suspicions of a coordinated effort to undermine Trump’s agenda. Posts on X have called out Boasberg’s behavior, with one user noting he “violated a myriad of ethics rules by discussing a litigant with multiple cases before his court with other judges who ALSO have cases before them involving the same litigant – Trump. Outrageous.”
Our @TheJusticeDept attorneys just secured a MAJOR victory defending President Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal alien terrorists.
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed what we’ve argued for months: Judge Boasberg’s attempt to sanction the government…

This isn’t an isolated incident. Federal judges have issued at least 64 injunctions blocking Trump’s executive actions, often through nationwide injunctions that overstep their constitutional bounds. For instance, Judge Amir Ali tried to force the Trump administration to funnel $2 billion to NGOs supporting liberal programs abroad, despite lacking jurisdiction. Similarly, Biden-appointed Judge Brian Murphy blocked Trump’s efforts to deport suspected gang members, further obstructing border security. These judges aren’t just ruling against Trump—they’re weaponizing their gavels to preserve the failed policies of the Biden era.
The House of Representatives has taken notice, passing the No Rogue Rulings Act to curb these abuses. The bill, led by Rep. Darrell Issa, limits district judges’ ability to issue nationwide injunctions, ensuring their rulings only apply to the parties before them. “In recent years, it has become glaringly obvious that federal judges are overstepping their constitutional bounds,” Issa declared. This legislation is a critical step to stop judges from acting as unelected overlords who can halt a president’s agenda nationwide.
The judiciary’s assault on Trump’s policies isn’t just a legal issue—it’s a threat to democracy. As Rep. Jim Jordan and Rep. Brian Mast have warned, these “rogue judges are out to stop Trump’s America First agenda.”
They’re not neutral arbiters but partisan warriors hiding behind the bench. The American people didn’t vote for judges to run the country—they voted for Trump. It’s time for Congress and the Supreme Court to rein in these judicial tyrants and restore the balance of power. The will of the people must prevail, and no activist judge should stand in the way.
