Trump doubles down on attack against judge after Roberts rebuke

President Trump early Wednesday renewed his attacks on a federal judge who ordered the administration to turn around flights carrying alleged Venezuelan gang members, despite pushback from the chief justice of the Supreme Court.

"If a President doesn’t have the right to throw murderers, and other criminals, out of our Country because a Radical Left Lunatic Judge wants to assume the role of President, then our Country is in very big trouble, and destined to fail!" Trump posted on Truth Social.

The post was referring to U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg, who over the weekend ordered flights carrying Venezuelan migrants who were allegedly linked to the Tren de Aragua gang to El Salvador to be turned around. The administration has said the flights were already out of U.S. territory at the time, while also suggesting Boasberg did not have the authority to intervene in the matter.

Trump in an interview that aired late Tuesday with Fox New's Laura Ingraham similarly criticized Boasberg's decision, saying it was "terrible" and "not for a local judge to be making that determination."

The president had earlier Tuesday called for the impeachment of Boasberg amid outrage on the right over the judge's ruling. Those comments elicited a rare public statement from Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.

“For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision," Roberts said. "The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose."

Asked during the Fox News interview about Roberts's rebuke, Trump said the chief justice had not named him in the statement.
