Justice Department Files Complaint Against Judge James Boasberg Over Alleged Misconduct
- The U.S. Department of Justice filed a misconduct complaint on Monday evening against District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg for alleged improper comments about President Donald Trump.
- Against this backdrop, earlier this year, the DOJ filed a similar complaint against U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, centered on remarks at a Judicial Conference meeting on March 11, 2025.
- According to the complaint, Judge James Boasberg reportedly told Chief Justice John Roberts he believed the Trump Administration would “disregard rulings of federal courts” and invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act without basis.
- The complaint asks Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan to reassign Boasberg’s deportation case and consider public reprimand and impeachment referrals.
- Amid ongoing tensions, it’s extremely rare for the U.S. Department of Justice to lodge a misconduct complaint against a federal judge, given the rarity of impeachment.
