Rep. Andy Ogles Moves to Impeach Obama-Appointed Judge Blocking TPS Terminations
Republican Rep. Andy Ogles, who has made waves amongst conservatives for his hardline stance against Islam and birthright citizenship, announced that he will be filing articles of impeachment against Obama-appointed judge Allison Burroughs.
Burroughs recently issued a ruling that blocked the Trump administration from ending Temporary Protected Status for Somali nationals despite a Supreme Court ruling aimed at curtailing the ability of lower courts to issue stays on TPS terminations.
Ogles says that the basis for the impeachment is for the “unconstitutional act of judicial activism.”
“SCOTUS made it very clear that lower courts cannot suspend TPS,” a spokesman for Ogles told Townhall. “Yet, an Obama appointed judge is defying the Court and the Constitution in an attempt to subvert the will of the President. This judicial activist’s obstruction of the people’s will must be stopped. Judge Burroughs must be impeached.”
