Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution proposes to impeach Sparkle L. Sooknanan, a federal judge in Washington D.C., over her decision to block implementation of the SAVE program through a court injunction. The resolution charges her with five articles of impeachment, claiming she abused her judicial authority, usurped executive power, violated the separation of powers, exceeded her constitutional limits, and undermined public confidence in the judiciary. The resolution argues that by issuing an injunction halting a presidential program, Judge Sooknanan substituted her personal judgment for that of elected officials and expanded judicial power beyond its constitutional scope. The resolution was introduced on July 9, 2026 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee. If passed by the House, the case would proceed to the Senate for trial, where a two-thirds majority would be required to remove the judge from office.
