Impeaching John McConnell, Jr., Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

Impeachment of Chief Judge John McConnell Jr. This resolution would impeach John McConnell Jr., Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island, for alleged abuse of judicial discretion, dereliction of duty, and endangerment of public safety. It alleges he vacated a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services policy framework that paused asylum and immigration benefit processing, dismissed the executive branch's national-security rationale as pretextual, and ignored recent terrorist incidents tied to Afghan nationals. The resolution asserts these actions make him unfit to hold office and seeks his removal.
