Obama-Appointed Judge Faces Impeachment After Outrageous TPS Ruling

Another day, another ridiculous court ruling.

After Obama-appointed Judge Allison Burroughs blocked President Trump from ending Temporary Protected Status for Somalis on Friday, the reaction from Congress was unusually swift.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) announced plans to introduce articles of impeachment against the activist judge on Monday.

“SCOTUS made it very clear that lower courts cannot suspend TPS. Yet, an Obama-appointed judge is defying the Court and the Constitution in an attempt to subvert the will of the President," he said in a statement.

"This judicial activist’s obstruction of the people’s will must be stopped. Judge Burroughs must be impeached," he added.

"On Monday I will file Articles of Impeachment against Judge Allison Burroughs for her unconstitutional act of Judicial Activism!!! Enough is enough, Americans First NOT 3rd world migrants," he wrote.

General Counsel James Percival also reprimanded Judge Burroughs over the judicial strong-arming.

"Judge Allison Burroughs just entered yet another order preventing the termination of Somalia TPS. There is no serious debate about what is going on in these cases — defiance, obstruction, and delay," Percival wrote on X.

Iowa Solicitor General Eric Wessan said Burroughs' order inappropriately grants emergency relief despite legally defective claims.

"I looked at the amended complaint in the Somalia TPS case," Wessan wrote on X. "The district judge has entered a novel 'administrative stay' to sort out the claims. She has declared the TPS termination 'void' for now, while deciding whether any of the claims can justify a more permanent pause."

"The whole thing turns the law upside down, but in part is to give the judge time to look at the claims," he added. "So what are the claims? 4/5 straight up foreclosed by the Supreme Court. #5 is frivolous. Completely inappropriate justification for a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction (which is what, in effect, the so-called administrative stay is)."

Thus we see another unelected rogue judge replace the president's authority over immigration policy with her own. Due to that decision, and the disastrous repercussions it has throughout the judicial branch, she may be impeached.

Editor's Note: Unelected federal judges are hijacking President Trump's agenda and insulting the will of the people.
