The White House blasted "activist" federal judges and called on the U.S. Supreme Court to rein them in on Wednesday as President Donald Trump and his allies escalated their attacks against judges who have ruled against his administration.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters it was incumbent upon the Supreme Court to take action against judges who "are acting erroneously."
"We have judges who are acting as partisan activists from the bench. They are trying to dictate policy from the president of the United States. They are trying to clearly slow walk this administration's agenda, and it's unacceptable," she said.
Her comments came a day after Trump called for the impeachment of Washington-based U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who issued an order temporarily banning the administration from removing migrants from the United States under an 18th-century law that the president invoked to proceed with the deportations. The comment drew a swift rebuke from Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, who said an appeal, not impeachment, was the appropriate response when disagreeing with a judge's decision.
In a social media post on Wednesday, Trump called Boasberg "a Radical Left Lunatic Judge" who "wants to assume the role of President."
Other members of the administration including Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller echoed Trump's demand to hold the judge accountable, while tech billionaire Elon Musk complained about a different judge who has temporarily blocked the U.S. military from enforcing Trump's executive order barring transgender people from military service.
"This is a judicial coup," Musk said on his social media site X, calling for Congress to impeach judges.
The combative stance from the president and his team has raised concerns among some legal experts that the administration might openly defy a court order, possibly sparking a constitutional crisis. Under the U.S. Constitution,

Leftist “Justice” Roberts is practically begging Trump to give the leftist justices in the federal court the same treatment he has given the “Democratic” Party, total humiliation.
John Roberts and his minions like Barret are doing everything they possibly can to maintain the deep state powers that be. I’m sure that Trump and his team know that drastic times call for drastic measures.
Pray for America.
Even President Lincoln ignored courts orders when said orders harmed the nation.
These orders from judges aren’t just obstructing Trump’s agenda, they are putting our Nation at risk. Not to sound like a liberal, but these rulings are going to get innocent civilians killed.
CONGRESS NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION!
It’s only a crisis to judges and leftist, Trump would be right in ignoring them. In the words of John Roberts he used against Americans in ObamaCare and other rulings, “they have no standing”.
Roberts is going to destroy any fair in the courts if he doesn’t step up soon and rein in these activists judges.
The people are going to lose faith in law and the courts and it will not be easy to get back.
It wasn’t a constitutional crisis when Joe Biden ignored the SCOTUS.
We the People all need to sign a “sternly” worded letter advising the government that they need to get their far-left, activist fags in black-robes under control or we’ll do it for them.
Given his public denouncing of President Trump, Justice Roberts will have to recuse himself from any appeal case Trump sends to the SCOTUS.
Otherwise Roberts provide a reason to have himself inpeached.
President Trump has a copy of that letter in the Oval Office now.
Nice timing by the President.
So far, as a result of leftist, democrat, deep state, attacks on our country, we have seen many institutions no longer trusted and respected.
The legal community, medical community, and the journalism community are a few.
There is no chance Roberts will recuse himself, none.
Pipsqueak judges don’t decide National Policy.
Reign them in.
This is hopefully the beginning to sweeping Executive action. Ask The Court to act to protect the country and if they refuse then The President will act. These rogue judges are a national security threat on so many levels. The President would be well within his rights to have them arrested and criminally charged.
Good. A lashing from Leavitt to Roberts.
Entirely appropriate.
This is a judicial coup
Crippling a country in action comrades.
Karoline took a shot yesterday at Boasberg’s wife.
She should have taken another shot at his daughter.
IMHO,that is his greatest conflict of interest and the grounds for what should have been his recusal.

Can confirm.
Activist judges are weaponizing the judicial system to jam up the elected President of the United States for partisan purposes.
Nothing about that is normal. https://t.co/MkNGgiAgNj— Rep. Eli Crane (@RepEliCrane) March 18, 2025
