A recently surfaced memo reveals that Washington, D.C. District Court Judge James Boasberg and other D.C. judges expressed a predisposed bias against the Trump administration. During a March 2025 judicial conference attended by Chief Justice John Roberts and approximately two dozen federal judges, Boasberg reportedly warned of a potential constitutional crisis, citing concerns that the Trump administration might disregard federal court rulings. This warning came shortly before Boasberg ordered the President to reverse military planes involved in an operation to expel terrorists, an action criticized as illegal and dangerous. The Department of Justice has described Boasberg's leaked comments as a breach of judicial oath. The memo and related reports have prompted calls from some House GOP members for an impeachment inquiry into Boasberg, alleging judicial misconduct and bias against the former president. Sources also note that Boasberg hosted a meeting with acting D.C. U.S. Attorney Ed Martin and other D.C. judges in spring 2025, further highlighting tensions within the federal judiciary regarding the Trump administration.
While Donald Trump keeps following the law to the letter, a cadre of judges led by Judge Boasberg are violating it and ignoring legal standards of conduct. https://t.co/QKJlHDHpRf

DC Obama Judge Jeb Boasberg told the leaders of the federal judiciary that there's an impending constitutional crisis. This is wildly inappropriate, out of line, and flat out wrong. After that, Boasberg told the President of the United States to turn around military planes full https://t.co/2A0lNaHW9t
