GOP Rep. Andy Ogles (TN) said he will file Articles of Impeachment against Judge Allison Burroughs on Monday for blocking the Trump Administration from ending
A federal judge on Friday once again blocked the Trump Administration from terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somalis.
The termination was supposed to take effect on March 17, however, a federal judge previously halted the termination.
On Friday, US District Judge Allison Burroughs, an Obama appointee, issued a new administrative stay after the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and an emergency motion.
There are more than 100,000 Somalis living in the US. An estimated 5,000 Somalis are eligible for Temporary Protected Status.
Judge Burroughs’ order came after the US Supreme Court ruled that the Trump Administration is allowed to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians.
The high court, in a 6-3 vote, ruled that the Temporary Protected Status is… temporary.
“On Monday I will file Articles of Impeachment against Judge Allison Burroughs for her unconstitutional act of Judicial Activism!!!” Rep. Ogles said.
“Enough is enough, Americans First NOT 3rd world migrants,” Ogles said.

The Justice Department responded to the judge’s order.
“Judge Allison Burroughs just entered yet another order preventing the termination of Somalia TPS. There is no serious debate about what is going on in these cases—defiance, obstruction, and delay,” Homeland Security general counsel James Percival said.
