HRES 1421 United States House · 119th Congress

Impeaching Sparkle L. Sooknanan, a Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This resolution formally impeaches Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for high crimes and misdemeanors. The document cites five specific articles of impeachment, accusing the judge of abusing her authority by issuing an injunction that halted the SAVE program and interfering with the President's executive duties. It further claims she exceeded her legal role by acting as a policy-maker rather than an impartial arbiter, thereby undermining public confidence in the judiciary. If the House adopts this resolution, the articles would be sent to the Senate for a trial, which could result in the judge's removal from office and disqualification from future public service.
