The Justice Department filed a formal misconduct complaint Monday against U.S. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg, seeking his removal from a key migrant deportation case over what officials call “improper” comments about former President Donald Trump.
Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on X that her office initiated the complaint after Boasberg allegedly warned fellow judges—including Chief Justice John Roberts—at a March judicial conference that the Trump administration would “disregard rulings of federal courts” and spark “a constitutional crisis.”
Judge Boasberg, an Obama appointee, is presiding over a case involving Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to expedite the deportation of suspected migrant criminals. Bondi’s chief of staff, Chad Mizelle, penned the complaint to DC Circuit Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan, arguing Boasberg’s comments revealed a prejudicial bias and violated judicial ethics.
“Judge Boasberg had no basis for his claims,” Mizelle stated, “and yet, within days, he began acting on them by issuing orders against the administration—orders later overturned by the Supreme Court.”
Boasberg maintains that the Trump administration defied his March 15 deportation halt, but critics argue that the judge’s comments tainted the proceedings and warrant disqualification.
The DOJ’s complaint alleges violations of multiple Canons of the Code of Conduct for United States Judges and calls for Boasberg’s immediate reassignment “to prevent further erosion of public trust.”
President Trump has also weighed in, calling Boasberg a “radical left grandstander” and demanding his impeachment.
The DC court has not responded to the complaint at this time.
