Introduced·7/15/26

Impeachment resolution against Judge John Edwin Steele for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This resolution seeks to impeach John Edwin Steele, Senior District Judge for the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, for high crimes and misdemeanors. The resolution cites Judge Steele's decision to release Miakel Guerra Morales, a Cuban national convicted of aircraft piracy, from an ICE detention facility. The release order allegedly marginalized public safety, homeland security, and national security considerations, placing the interests of Guerra Morales above the security of the United States.
