Judge Weighs Contempt for Trump Admin Deportations

News summary

Federal Judge James Boasberg is considering holding the Trump administration in contempt for potentially violating his order to reroute deportation flights carrying alleged Venezuelan gang members back to the U.S. Despite Boasberg's temporary restraining order under the Alien Enemies Act, the administration proceeded with the deportations to El Salvador before the order was finalized, raising questions about the administration's adherence to due process. Justice Department attorney Drew Ensign defended the actions, asserting the legality of the deportations, yet faced skepticism from Boasberg, who suggested possible bad faith actions by the government. The case highlights tensions over the use of wartime powers and judicial oversight, with Boasberg pressing for transparency about who authorized the flights and the invocation of state secrets to withhold details.
