Updated: Aug 3, 2026
Summary
This resolution seeks to impeach Allison Dale Burroughs, a judge of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, on grounds of high crimes and misdemeanors. The central allegation is that Judge Burroughs defied both Federal law and the Supreme Court's authority through her judicial actions. She is accused of issuing a stay on the President's determination to end Temporary Protected Status for Somalia, which the resolution states ignored clear statutory prohibitions on judicial review of such executive decisions. The resolution further asserts that Judge Burroughs attempted to circumvent a Supreme Court ruling by entertaining allegations of discrimination, thereby usurping the President's delegated authority regarding TPS extensions. This conduct, according to the resolution, makes her unfit to hold the office of Federal judge and necessitates her removal.
