FIRST ON FOX: House conservatives are reviving various pushes to impeach judges accused of blocking President Donald Trump's agenda after Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., gave his tacit approval earlier this week.

"I just spoke to him on the House floor, and he's still in support, so we're going to push to move forward on at least one," Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., told Fox News Digital in the early evening on Thursday.

Ogles was among the conservative Trump allies who led the push to impeach judges last year as the administration engaged in legal battles with federal courts across the country over various rulings.

He previously introduced impeachment articles against U.S. District Judge John Bates for blocking a Trump executive order targeting transgender recognition under federal law, as well as District Judge Theodore Chuang after his ruling to stop a crackdown on foreign aid by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Neither of those impeachment resolutions or others targeting several other judges went anywhere at the time, however. House GOP leaders made clear they believed impeachment was an impractical way to deal with what Republicans saw as "activist judges" trying to influence policy rather than interpret law.

Johnson and other leaders instead favored a bill by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., to limit district judges' ability to issue nationwide injunctions. That bill passed the House along partisan lines last year but was never taken up in the Senate.

But the speaker sounded more enthusiastic about impeachment during his press conference on Wednesday, telling reporters, "I'm for it."

He named U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, specifically, who's been targeted by Republicans after rulings on several key immigration cases involving Trump's policies, including flying migrants to El Salvador and other countries instead of detaining them in the U.S.

Boasberg more recently raised GOP ire when it was revealed that Boasberg signed off on decisions that allowed for the seizure of some Republican lawmakers' phone records in former special counsel Jack Smith's Arctic Frost probe.

A resolution to impeach Boasberg led by Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, gained traction among conservatives last year, and the Texas Republican told Fox News Digital he was heartened by Johnson's comments on Thursday.

"We're going to do everything we can to push that forward. I mean the reality is that Boasberg has been acting as an agent of the Democrat Party for quite some time now," Gill said. "I'm thrilled to see the speaker get on board. I think his leadership will be crucial in getting this passed."

Gill said it was still early to predict whether it would see a House-wide vote but said his office was in contact with Johnson's office about the measure, which he said was "moving in the right direction."

A source familiar with his effort told Fox News Digital that his resolution to impeach Boasberg gained two new House GOP co-sponsors after Johnson's comments this week.

Other House Republicans who supported the push last year indicated they would do so again.

"I'd be all for it," Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., told Fox News Digital. He said of Boasberg specifically, "I think he's one of the most forthright judicial activists on the bench and that's not why he was put on the bench."

Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., said Johnson expressing support could strengthen the push.

"There's a lot of respect for Speaker Johnson, especially as a constitutional lawyer — he's someone that a lot of people have a lot of confidence in," Stutzman told Fox News Digital. "The fact that he's willing to step out there as a Speaker of the House, it says a lot."

Rep. Lance Gooden, R-Texas, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, told Fox News Digital, "I think there's more of an appetite and less of a hesitation than there was earlier in the Congress. We had an agenda. We didn't want to be distracted with potential impeachment, but I think now, as we're realizing things are not getting better, the people around the nation are expecting us to hold this judge and others like him accountable."

But not all Republicans were as enthusiastic.

House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, R-Md., who was supportive of the GOP's judicial impeachment fervor last year, told Fox News Digital Thursday that he was not sure it could survive the committee process needed before a House-wide vote.

House GOP Conference Vice Chair Blake Moore, R-Utah, said "everybody has to be willing to consider impeachment" as a power of Congress but said he did not know the details of the specific initiatives.

"I will reinforce how much I like Issa's bill. It moves it away from political rhetoric into, 'Hey, let's do something substantive here,'" Moore told Fox News Digital. "It's a pretty innovative solution in a very sound way."

National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez told Fox News Digital that, despite heavy criticism from the media and Democrats, as well as the consistent presence of agitators, officers’ morale remains high and there is "no shortage of volunteers" to assist with deportation operations.

Perez told Fox News Digital during an interview that though the "majority of our agents are stationed on the southwest border," members of his union understand the threat that criminal illegal immigrants pose to the entire nation after four years under the Biden administration.

"Unfortunately, you throw a dart at the map, and it's very likely that some of the people that Biden let in are there," he explained.

Though distinct from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers who are primarily responsible for interior removal operations, Perez said there has been "no shortage of volunteers" for deployments for operations in cities across the country, including Minneapolis, Portland and Los Angeles.

"We've got plenty of agents that are willing to go out there to go and help because they see the challenges that our ICE officers and our other our law enforcement partners are going up against and they want to be there to help," he explained. "They're very well-trained, they're very eager, they are patriotic, and they want to do their duty to secure the border and help secure America."

Perez said that because the Biden administration wanted the flow of migrants entering the country to be processed quickly, "there are very few records for us to rely on that are accurate."

"There's just so many people that were let in, to the tune of millions of people, and they were interspersed throughout the United States," he said, adding, "A lot of these people weren't required to put information that we could vet because the administration wanted them out quick."

Perez said that though Border Patrol agents have found themselves being deployed to communities far from home, they have approached operations with the same ethic. At the same time, he said the vitriol from some has had some impact on officers in his union.

"The rhetoric coming from the left, it does impact our families because of the doxing and the protesters thinking that it's okay because politicians are asking them to protest. They're seeing what they're doing as agitators, and they continue to up the ante and say, ‘Hey, go after these ICE officers, interfere, impede,' and there's consequences to that," he said.

Despite this, Perez said that Border Patrol officers are as resolved as ever, and they are "not going to back down."

Despite the backlash from protesters, the media and politicians, he said that Border Patrol officers in his union feel that "we've got more support now than we've ever had" because of the administration.

"From the human aspect, we know the type of people that we've come across, and we don't want them in the cities and communities of America because we know that the damage they can cause," he explained. "We've got so many murderers, rapists, burglars, robbers, and we want to get them out of our country."

"Our Border Patrol agents live in the communities that they serve, the communities that they patrol and protect. And so, when we go out into other municipalities across the country, we take that into account because that is somebody else's home, that's somebody's city that they live in, and we want them to be safe."
