Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts issues historic slapdown to Trump over deportation of 'monster' migrants

Chief Justice John Roberts has issued a stunning rebuke of Donald Trump in an explosive row over the deportation of migrants and attacks on judges.

It came after Trump called for the impeachment of a judge who had blocked his bid to send people he said were members of a violent Venezuelan gang to El Salvador.

Trump attacked the federal lower court judge as a 'radical left lunatic' in a wild tirade on social media.

But Roberts took the rare step of intervening and publicly slapping down the president.

'For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,' Roberts said in a curt statement issued by the Supreme Court. 'The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.'

By that, Roberts meant that if the Trump administration has a problem with a judge's ruling, it should appeal and fight the issue in court – rather than savage a Senate-confirmed judge in public.

Any ultimate appeal would end up before Roberts' own body, in which conservatives hold a 6-3 majority and have backed Trump in the past.
