Removing James E. Boasberg, Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, for failure to remain in good behavior pursuant to section 1 of article III of the Constitution.
HRES 270 is a House resolution proposing the removal of Chief Judge James E. Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. It alleges he failed to maintain "good behavior" under Article III of the Constitution by interfering with President Trump's foreign policy regarding the Alien Enemies Act and ordering the return of Tren de Aragua members (a group designated under that law). The resolution also cites undisclosed non-federal payments and misuse of discretion on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court as additional grounds. This procedural resolution, if passed, would send an "article of removal" to the Senate for trial, but does not remove the judge immediately. It targets Boasberg personally and focuses on specific judicial conduct claims.
