Judicial Tensions Peak: Misconduct Complaint Against District Judge

The Justice Department has escalated its battle with the judiciary, filing a misconduct complaint against U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg. This move comes after Boasberg reportedly criticized President Trump's deportation practices, suggesting they could lead to a constitutional crisis.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the filing, citing alleged improper public comments by Boasberg, who is accused of undermining judicial integrity. The complaint follows remarks he made to Chief Justice John Roberts and other judges about the administration's handling of federal court rulings.

The Judicial Conference meeting, where the comments were made, has sparked calls for an investigation and possible sanctions against Boasberg. The complaint seeks the reassignment of the deportation case and hints at potential impeachment if allegations are confirmed.
