The U.S. judge who temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from invoking wartime powers to deport migrants has for years handled high-stakes cases involving sensitive security or political issues - sometimes ruling in Trump's favor.

Federal judge James Boasberg is the target of an impeachment effort by President Trump and House Republicans after questioning the administration's decision to disregard an order.

Federal Judge James “Jeb" Boasberg has a long history of handling politically charged cases, including Trump’s grand jury investigations, Jan. 6 sentencings, and surveillance reforms. Now, he’s facing impeachment calls after blocking Trump’s deportation orders.
