Speaker Johnson says GOP looking at 'all available options' to address 'activist judges' opposing Trump

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and fellow Republicans in the lower chamber are evaluating constitutional options to counter what they describe as "activist judges" obstructing President Donald Trump’s agenda.

"Judges who pursue political objectives threaten the rule of law, equal justice, and the balance of power. The Speaker is eager to collaborate with the Judiciary Committee as they assess all constitutional remedies to address this pressing issue," Johnson's office stated to Fox News Digital.

The House’s review of potential measures to limit judicial authority follows a recent ruling by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who issued an emergency order blocking the administration’s deportation flights of undocumented immigrants.

Boasberg halted the use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, which the administration invoked to swiftly deport Venezuelan nationals and suspected members of the Tren de Aragua gang.

Trump responded with strong criticism, appearing to advocate for Boasberg’s impeachment. "This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!! WE DON’T WANT VICIOUS, VIOLENT, AND DEMENTED CRIMINALS, MANY OF THEM DERANGED MURDERERS, IN OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!" he posted on Truth Social.

In another post, Trump argued that judicial interference was undermining his ability to enforce immigration laws. "If a President doesn’t have the right to throw murderers, and other criminals, out of our Country because a Radical Left Lunatic Judge wants to assume the role of President, then our Country is in very big trouble, and destined to fail!"

Republicans have consistently criticized judicial roadblocks against Trump’s administration, particularly the increasing use of temporary restraining orders by federal judges.

Stephen Miller, a senior Trump policy advisor and former White House deputy chief of staff, echoed these concerns on X. "Under what theory of the Constitution does a single Marxist judge in San Francisco have the same executive power as the Commander-in-Chief elected by the whole nation to lead the executive branch? No such theory exists. It is merely naked judicial tyranny."

As the House examines possible legislative or legal responses, the Senate is also expected to take action. The Senate Judiciary Committee has scheduled a hearing in the coming weeks to discuss the matter.
