Impeaching John McConnell, Jr., Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This resolution would impeach John McConnell, Jr., Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island, for high crimes and misdemeanors and send one article of impeachment to the Senate. The article centers on his June 5, 2026 order in a case against U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). That order vacated USCIS policies that paused asylum applications and pending immigration benefit requests, required review of already approved benefits, and directed USCIS to consider country-specific factors. The resolution states that the judge should be removed from office.
