The White House has accused judges of “usurping” executive power after a series of rulings against Donald Trump’s administration, including one that sought to block the deportation of Venezuelan migrants and drew the president’s ire.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday alleged there had been a “concerted effort by the far-left” to pick judges who were “clearly acting as partisan activists” to deal with cases involving the Republican’s administration.

“Not only are they usurping the will of the president and the chief executive of our country, but they are undermining the will of the American public,” Leavitt said at a daily briefing.

Leavitt in particular lashed out at District Judge James Boasberg, who ordered the suspension over the weekend of the deportation flights carried out under an obscure wartime law, calling him a “Democrat activist.”

Trump’s administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport Venezuelan gang members as part of its mass deportation program of undocumented migrants.

Trump personally called for the judge’s impeachment on Tuesday, saying Boasberg was “a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack Hussein Obama.”
