参议员埃里克·施密特呼吁众议院弹劾这名“流氓法官”，因其处理移民案件的方式
作者：阿什利·奥利弗 福克斯新闻
当地时间周二，代理司法部长托德·布兰奇严厉抨击法官詹姆斯·博阿斯伯格，指控其针对司法部律师。此前，一家上诉法院再次谴责这位由奥巴马任命的法官，这是其在一桩 ongoing 移民案件中第二次被上诉法院批评。
“今日哥伦比亚特区巡回法院的裁决，终于应该终结博阿斯伯格法官一年来针对兢兢业业履职、打击非法移民的司法部律师的运动，”布兰奇在一份声明中说道。
布兰奇的批评进一步加剧了外界对这位频繁被总统列为攻击目标的法官的审查。此前，哥伦比亚特区联邦上诉法院合议庭以2比1的投票结果，再次驳回了博阿斯伯格对特朗普政府官员发起的藐视法庭调查。

2026年4月7日，代理司法部长托德·布兰奇在华盛顿罗伯特·F·肯尼迪司法部大楼的新闻发布会上发言。
其他共和党人和保守派法律专家也附和了布兰奇的言论，凸显出作为哥伦比亚特区联邦法院首席法官的博阿斯伯格，如何反复成为特朗普政府议程的眼中钉。
“又是一天，又是一次对博阿斯伯格法官的驳回，”乔治梅森大学法学教授罗布·路德写道。
密苏里州共和党参议员埃里克·施密特再次呼吁弹劾博阿斯伯格，这项努力目前在众议院陷入停滞。
“哥伦比亚特区巡回法院裁定，博阿斯伯格对特朗普官员的藐视法庭运动是‘不当调查’和‘明显滥用自由裁量权’，”施密特说道。“他试图因驱逐委内瑞拉帮派成员而入狱特朗普官员。我呼吁众议院：弹劾流氓法官博阿斯伯格。”
除了提出对特朗普官员处以刑事藐视法庭的可能性（该罪名可处以罚款、监禁或其他制裁），博阿斯伯格最近还阻止了司法部传唤美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔的请求，称该调查的“唯一目的”是向美联储施压，要求其降低利率。

反对博阿斯伯格的两名法官均为特朗普任命的尼奥米·拉奥和贾斯汀·沃克，而拜登任命的法官米歇尔·蔡尔兹持反对意见。拉奥在其意见书中指责博阿斯伯格滥用职权，强化了右翼对司法越界的广泛担忧。
“地区法院提议调查行政部门高层就国家安全和外交事务进行的磋商，”拉奥写道。“这些程序明显是滥用自由裁量权，因为地区法院的命令未提及移交原告监护权，因此缺乏基于监护权移交认定刑事藐视法庭的明确依据。”
布兰奇是本月早些时候特朗普任命接替帕姆·邦迪的，他的评论提及了这起旷日持久的案件。该案主要在博阿斯伯格的法庭审理，导致法官多次作出不利裁决，并出现激烈的庭审场面，他就移民官员行动的知情情况盘问司法部律师。
2026年3月31日，华盛顿特区，总统唐纳德·特朗普在白宫椭圆形办公室签署行政命令后回答记者提问。
博阿斯伯格去年启动了藐视法庭程序，此前他指控特朗普政府违反临时限制令，要求政府将委内瑞拉移民送回美国。此前，这些移民根据《敌国外侨法》被送往萨尔瓦多臭名昭著的高安全级别CECOT监狱，理由是他们是阿拉瓜亚火车帮派成员。
博阿斯伯格本周将就驱逐案件中的特朗普藐视法庭案作出裁决
特朗普做出了颇具争议的决定，援引该法案绕过常规移民程序，快速驱逐这些移民。最高法院驳回了博阿斯伯格的临时限制令，称尽管移民的正当程序权利可能受到侵犯，但代表移民提起诉讼的美国公民自由联盟本应在移民最后被拘留的法院提出人身保护权诉求。
哥伦比亚特区巡回法院此前已驳回博阿斯伯格的初步藐视法庭动议，但在发现前国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺伊姆据称下令政府官员无视博阿斯伯格的命令后，博阿斯伯格启动了一项新的、范围更窄的藐视法庭调查，该调查于周二被哥伦比亚特区合议庭终止。

美国公民自由联盟可就该裁决向上诉法院的全体法官提起上诉，与此同时这起更大范围的案件仍在推进中。

Blanche torches Trump foe Boasberg after appeals court blocks judge again in deportation fight
April 15, 2026 6:00am EDT / Fox News
Sen Eric Schmitt called on the House to impeach the ‘rogue judge’ over his handling of the immigration case
By Ashley Oliver Fox News
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche tore into Judge James Boasberg on Tuesday, accusing him of targeting DOJ attorneys, after an appellate court rebuked the Obama-appointed judge for a second time in an ongoing immigration case.
“Today’s decision by the DC Circuit should finally end Judge Boasberg’s year-long campaign against the hardworking Department attorneys doing their jobs fighting illegal immigration,” Blanche said in a statement.
The criticism from Blanche, newly appointed as acting AG by President Donald Trump, intensified scrutiny of a judge frequently in the president’s crosshairs after a D.C. federal appeals court panel issued a 2-1 decision blocking, yet again, Boasberg’s contempt investigation into Trump officials.
BOASBERG’S ROLE IN ‘ARCTIC FROST’ PROBE SPARKS FURY FROM GOP SENATORS, DESPITE LOCAL RULES

Other Republicans and conservative legal experts echoed Blanche’s remarks, underscoring how Boasberg, chief judge of the D.C. federal court, has been a repeated thorn to Trump’s agenda.
“Another day, another reversal of Judge Boasberg,” wrote George Mason University law professor Rob Luther.
Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., resurfaced Republicans’ calls for Boasberg’s impeachment, an effort that is currently stalled in the House.
“The D.C. Circuit ruled Boasberg’s contempt crusade against Trump officials is an ‘improper investigation’ and ‘clear abuse of discretion,’” Schmitt said. “He tried to imprison Trump officials for deporting Venezuelan gang members. I’m calling on the House: Impeach Rogue Judge Boasberg.”
In addition to raising the possibility of criminal contempt against Trump officials, an offense punishable by fines, jail or other sanctions, Boasberg recently blocked the DOJ’s ability to subpoena Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, alleging the investigation’s “sole purpose” was to pressure the Fed to lower interest rates.

TRUMP FOE BOASBERG HIT WITH ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT
The two judges who ruled against Boasberg on contempt were Trump appointees Neomi Rao and Justin Walker, while Judge Michelle Childs, a Biden appointee, dissented. Rao, in her opinion, accused Boasberg of abusing his authority, bolstering the right’s broader concerns about judicial overreach.
“The district court proposes to probe high-level Executive Branch deliberations about matters of national security and diplomacy,” Rao wrote. “These proceedings are a clear abuse of discretion, as the district court’s order said nothing about transferring custody of the plaintiffs and therefore lacks the clarity to support criminal contempt based on the transfer of custody.”
The comment from Blanche, who Trump chose to replace Pam Bondi earlier this month, referenced the prolonged nature of the case, which has largely proceeded in Boasberg’s courtroom and has led to numerous adverse rulings by the judge and heated courtroom moments where he has grilled DOJ attorneys over their knowledge, or lack thereof, of immigration officials’ actions.

Boasberg had launched contempt proceedings last year after accusing the Trump administration of defying a temporary restraining order instructing the government to return Venezuelan migrants to the United States after they were flown under the Alien Enemies Act to the notorious, high-security CECOT prison in El Salvador over allegations they were members of the gang Tren de Aragua.

Trump had made the controversial decision to invoke the act to bypass typical immigration proceedings and quickly deport the migrants. The Supreme Court tossed out Boasberg’s restraining order, saying that while the migrants’ due process rights may have been violated, the American Civil Liberties Union, which sued on behalf of the migrants, should have brought habeas corpus claims in the courts where the migrants were last detained.
The D.C. Circuit Court shut down Boasberg’s initial contempt effort, but upon discovering that former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem had allegedly ordered government officials to ignore Boasberg’s order, Boasberg opened a new, more narrowly tailored contempt probe, which the D.C. panel terminated on Tuesday.
