This bill initiates impeachment proceedings against United States District Judge Deborah Boardman for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This act aims to penalize local governments that refuse to fully cooperate with federal immigration detainers and enforcement requests.

The End DED Act seeks to eliminate the use of Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) by the executive branch, asserting that this authority belongs to Congress.
