Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ), a vocal supporter of the MAGA movement, made headlines during a fiery Fox News segment where he took aim at federal Judge James Boasberg. Biggs accused Boasberg of overstepping his bounds and violating the Constitution’s “Good Behavior Clause,” and he’s now pushing a resolution to remove the judge from the bench.
At the center of the controversy is a recent decision by Boasberg that blocked President Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport members of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang back to Venezuela. The move sparked outrage among conservatives, who saw it as a direct challenge to Trump’s authority on immigration and national security.
During the April 1, 2025, broadcast, Rep. Biggs explained the constitutional foundation for his argument. “Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution states that judges serve during ‘good behavior,’” he said. “When a judge acts outside their authority and undermines lawful presidential actions, that’s no longer good behavior.”
Biggs argued that Boasberg’s ruling wasn’t just a legal disagreement — it was a misuse of judicial power. “He’s not upholding the law. He’s pushing a political agenda,” Biggs said. “That’s why I’ve introduced a resolution to remove him.”
In a press release issued before his interview, Biggs officially announced the resolution to oust Boasberg, who serves as the Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. He claimed the judge’s actions were “deliberate and unjust,” aimed at obstructing President Trump’s foreign policy initiatives for partisan gain.
“This isn’t about impeachment,” Biggs clarified. “Impeachment is for crimes. But under the Constitution, judges must behave ethically and lawfully to stay on the bench. Judge Boasberg crossed that line.”
He added that Congress has both the authority and responsibility to act when judges veer from their constitutional role. “We can’t sit back and allow activist judges to sidestep the law and override the will of the people,” Biggs said. “It’s our job to defend the rule of law — and that includes protecting the president’s authority.”
While the resolution is sure to face intense political debate, Biggs’s bold move is already energizing conservative voters and adding fuel to ongoing discussions about the role of the judiciary in shaping national policy.
