President Donald Trump continued on Tuesday to criticize the federal judge who issued an order that arrested the deportation flights of non -citizens to other countries under the Alien enemies law.
“Many people have asked for their accusation, the accusation of this judge.” He was appointed by Obama, and he actually said that we should not be able to carry criminals, murderers, murderers, horrible, the worst people, gang members, gang leaders, that we should not be able to get them out of our country. “
“Well, that is a presidential job that is not for a local judge to be making that determination,” Trump said, echoing the argument that other members of his administration have done since the US district judge James Boasberg issued his order on Saturday to stop deportation flights.
The earlier Tuesday, the president of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, seemed to reject Trump’s calls and some Republicans of the House of Representatives to accuse the judges whose conflicting failures with the deportation plans of the Trump administration.

Roberts issued his rare statement after Trump showed the federal judge insults who conducted a investigation hearing on Monday about whether the Trump administration violated a court order knows when he delivered more than 200 alleged gang members to the authorities of El Salvadora during the weekend.
In a publication about Your social networks network on Tuesday morningTrump called Boasberg “Crooked” and said he should be accused.
“This judge, like many of the crooked judges, is forced to appear before, must be accused!” Trump wrote. “We do not want vicious, violent and insane criminals, many of them murderers upset in our country.”
Although he did not mention Trump or the specific judge by name, Roberts rebuked Trump’s call to accuse the members of the Judiciary.
“For more than two centuries, it has been established that the accusation is not an appropriate response to the disagreement of a judicial decision,” Roberts said in the statement. “The normal appeal review process exists for that purpose.”

Trump reached Roberts’ criticism and said: “” He did not mention my name in the statement. I just saw it quickly. He didn’t mention my name. “
Roberts’s statement indicates a great difference of opinion between the judicial and executive branches.
The first -year republican representative Brandon Gill de Texas presented the political trial articles against Boasberg on Tuesday. Five other Republican legislators were signed as copatrochinters of the bill, although the leaders of the Republican party have not yet said if they plan to vote on political trial articles.
The Congress can accuse a judge if a simple majority is reached in the Chamber. If the articles were approached and, ultimately, the camera clear, the Senate would need to make a trial. It would require a two -third majority vote in the upper chamber to condemn a judge.
It is rare, but not without precedents, that the members of the Congress present articles of political trial against a judge.
In February, the representative of the Republican Party Eli Crane presented articles of political trial against the United States District Judge, Paul Engelmayer, who issued a radical restriction in the access of the Government’s efficiency department to the delicate department of Treasury Payment Systems. More than a dozen judges They have been accused in the history of the United States and only a handful have been convicted.
Trump argued on Tuesday that he should not prevent him from carrying out his immigration agenda, saying in his publication on social networks: “I’m just doing what voters wanted me to do.”

Trump’s comments on Boasberg occurred after the federal judge blocked the Trump administration to deport non -citizens after the recent proclamation of the president invoke the alien enemies law to deport the alleged members of the Venezuelan gang of Aragua.
Boasberg, in verbal instructions during an audience on Saturday, gave orders to immediately change around two planes that take non -citizens if they are covered by their request, including one that potentially took off during a break at the Court hearing. However, the sources said that the main lawyers and administration officials made the determination that, since the flights were in the international waters, the order of Boasberg did not apply, and the planes were not changed.
On Monday, Boasberg questioned whether the Trump administration ignored its orders to change the planes, saying that it was “a section” for them to argue that their order could be ignored.

The Associated Deputy Attorney General, Abhishek Kambli, argued on Monday during the “Acts Investigation” hearing convened by Boasberg that the judge’s directive on Saturday night to turn the flights around did not enter into force until he was put in writing that night.
Boasberg ordered the Department of Justice to present, by Tuesday, an affidavit of what they represented in a presentation on Monday, that a third flight that took off after his order written on Saturday led the detainees who were removable in the field other than the law of alien enemies.
