Summary

A conservative critic argues that U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, a Biden appointee who became a U.S. citizen in 2019, should be impeached for allegedly forcing Trump to extend foreign aid to NGOs and for his past activism against Trump policies and police funding. The critic cites Ali's prior work at the MacArthur Justice Center and involvement in civil rights litigation as evidence of partisan bias.

🧵This is Candian-born, Biden-appointed U.S. District Judge Amir Ali. He is forcing President Trump to extend foreign aid to American-hating NGOs and organizations. I'm drafting articles of impeachment against him.

1/ He has only been a U.S. citizen since 2019 and does not appear to have renounced his Canadian citizenship. See page 1: judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…

2/ He personally fought President Trump on the Muslim ban, urging SCOTUS to consider Trump's personal comments on Muslims in order to paint him as racist. macarthurjustice.org/first-brief-in…

3/ While he was working at the MacArthur Justice Center, the organization sued Trump's campaign for kicking out a disruptive protester.

4/ While Ali was working at the Center, the organization launched defunding the police legal campaigns across the country. In 2020, the Center lobbied New Orleans to "commit to sharp reductions in law enforcement in the city's 2021 budget . . . and redirection of those funds..." nationalreview.com/bench-memos/bi…

5/ During his time at the Center, the organization also advocated for making "police departments obsolete." It's still on X:

6/ Judge Ali has a history of attacking President Trump and advocating for far-Left radicalism. Not to mention his presumed allegiance to a foreign nation, which will consequently receive funding under his ruling. He has repeatedly demonstrated himself to be a partisan hack and should be held accountable. He has no business being on the bench.
