Obama-Appointed Judge Faces Fresh Impeachment Threat Over Block on Somali TPS Protections

A federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama is facing a fresh impeachment threat after blocking a Trump administration order to end protections for Somalis in the US. The judge's decision was made on November 16th but has yet to be appealed. President Donald Trump's allies in Congress are now calling for Judge Thomas B. Russell's removal from office. If successful, this would mark the first time an Obama appointee is being impeached under the Trump administration.
