H. Res. 1421, 119th Congress, 2d Session, is titled “Impeaching Sparkle L. Sooknanan, a Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, for high crimes and misdemeanors.” Congress.gov and the GPO introduced text record introduction on July 9, 2026, by Mr. Hamadeh of Arizona, referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. Tracker status: Introduced. There is no House vote on this resolution as of this check. Introduction is not a House vote to impeach. A committee referral is not a conviction. This file will not write “IMPEACHED.”
Article I is captioned “Abuse of Judicial Authority.” It alleges that she “issued an injunction that halted President Trump’s SAVE program.” Article II is “Usurpation of Executive Authority,” again naming the blocking of SAVE. Article III is “Disregard for the Separation of Powers.” Article IV is “Exceeding Article III Authority.” Article V is “Undermining Confidence in the Judiciary,” alleging that obstructing a program intended by its supporters to strengthen election integrity fostered a perception of courts as political actors. Those are the resolution’s allegations. They are not a court finding and not a House roll-call.
The introduced PDF misspells the surname as “Sookanan” in several charging paragraphs. The title line uses Sooknanan. This file uses the FJC / court-bio spelling except when quoting the resolution’s error.
On July 6, 2026 — three days before the Congress.gov introduction date — Rep. Abe Hamadeh posted on X: “I’m filing articles of impeachment against ‘Judge’ Sparkle L. Sooknanan.” The original is X, July 6, 2026. His office account posted the “final straw” language the same night. Those are his words. They are not a House vote. Washington Examiner reported the announcement. Reporting a filing is not a roll-call.
