Republican lawmakers, including Representatives Nancy Mace, Lauren Boebert, and Eli Crane, have publicly called for the impeachment of what they refer to as 'activist judges.' These calls come in response to a series of federal court rulings that have blocked several initiatives of President Donald Trump's administration.

On Thursday, April 24, 2025, federal judges across the U.S. issued rulings that halted Trump's efforts to cut federal funding for public schools with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, to withhold funds from sanctuary cities, and to require proof of citizenship for voter registration. These rulings represent significant legal setbacks for the Trump administration, which is currently facing nearly 200 lawsuits in court. The rulings were made by judges including Landya B. McCafferty, an Obama appointee in New Hampshire, who blocked the defunding of schools with DEI programs, and William Orrick in California, who prohibited the withholding of funds from sanctuary cities. Additionally, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington blocked changes to voter registration requirements.

The rulings delivered a triple blow to the Trump administration, with two of the judges being appointees of former President Barack Obama and one a Trump appointee.
