Supreme Court chief justice rebukes Trump over call to impeach judge in deportation case

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts rebuked President Donald Trump after the president called for the impeachment of a federal judge who issued orders blocking Trump’s plan to deport any more alleged members of a Venezuelan gang from the United States.

“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 statement on Trump’s demand.
