Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare rebuke to President Donald Trump on Tuesday, replying to Trump’s statement that a federal judge issuing a ruling blocking the expulsion of migrants to El Salvador should be impeached.

Roberts’ statement read: “For more than two centuries it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose,” according to The New York Times.

Trump’s demand was posted on his Truth Social platform. “I’m just doing what the VOTERS wanted me to do. This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges’ I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!!”
