Impeaching John McConnell, Jr., Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This resolution proposes to impeach John McConnell, Jr., the Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island, for high crimes and misdemeanors. The bill alleges that Judge McConnell abused his judicial discretion by vacating a USCIS policy framework that paused asylum applications and immigration benefit requests for individuals from certain countries. The resolution claims this decision disregarded specific national security incidents and prioritized the interests of noncitizens over public safety. If passed, the House would formally charge the judge with conduct incompatible with his office, sending the article of impeachment to the Senate for trial.
