Issa: Rogue Judges are the Trump Resistance in Robes — My Bill Will Stop Them

Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48), Senior Member of the House Judiciary Committee, issued the following statement following the latest outrageous ruling by a rogue federal judge:

“It’s never been more obvious that parts of our federal judiciary have a major malfunction of judicial activism. Practically every week, we see yet another federal judge issuing yet another nationwide injunction in yet another gambit to stop President Trump from exercising his Constitutional Article II powers and carrying out the policy agenda he promised the American people he would make a reality.

In only the latest example, U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg severely overstepped his authority and demonstrated the most critical shortfall of judicial temperament. By ordering planes containing dangerous illegal immigrants – that President Trump negotiated with a foreign country to let land – to turn around in midair makes a mockery of the important powers we assign to our federal judges. This isn’t even close to a legal disagreement involving standing, statute or precedent. It is the Trump Resistance in Robes.

We have a crisis on the bench right now and not just with this or any single judge. My bill – The No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025 – won’t only deal with excesses like Judge Boasberg’s outrageous demands on the President and the Trump Administration. It is the comprehensive solution we need to ensure that this problem does not occur anywhere in our federal judiciary and resets the proper and appropriate balance in our courts. It has already passed the Judiciary Committee, and I look forward to this bill gaining the support of the full House, the Senate, and heading to President Trump’s desk.”
