That Allison Dale Burroughs, a judge of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following article of impeachment be exhibited to the Senate: Article of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, against Allison Dale Burroughs, a judge of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against her for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Allison Dale Burroughs, a judge of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, defied the authority of both Federal law and the Supreme Court of the United States, as follows: Judge Burroughs issued a stay on the lawful determination by the President of the United States to end temporary protected status for the nation of Somalia.
In issuing this stay, Judge Burroughs ignored the clear intention of Congress expressed in section 244(b)(5)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1254a(b)(5)(A)) that [t]here is no judicial review of any determination of the [Secretary of Homeland Security] with respect to the designation, or termination or extension of a [temporary protected status] designation, of a foreign state
. In issuing this stay, Judge Burroughs attempted to get around the Supreme Court’s ruling in Mullin v. Doe by entertaining spurious allegations of racial and national-origin discrimination against an Administration that has chosen to not renew a single temporary protected status designation.
In issuing this stay, Judge Burroughs usurped the authority delegated to the President of the United States to determine whether to extend temporary protected status. Accordingly, Judge Allison Dale Burroughs has engaged in conduct so contrary to her role under the Constitution of the United States that she is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, is unfit to hold the office of Federal judge, and should be removed from office.
