Federal Judge Blocks Trump's Deportation Plans Amid Legal Challenges

Federal judges are increasingly at odds with the Trump administration over immigration enforcement policies. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg is questioning the legality of deportation flights for alleged Venezuelan gang members, prompting accusations from the White House that judges are usurping executive power. In a separate case, Judge Nina Wang temporarily halted the deportation of Jeanette Vizguerra, an immigration activist, after her detention sparked protests from Colorado Democrats. The administration has been accused of implementing a harsh immigration crackdown, with critics describing the actions as politically motivated. Trump's administration has invoked the Alien Enemies Act to justify deportations, while also targeting activists like Mahmoud Khalil for their pro-Hamas advocacy. The tensions highlight a growing struggle between judicial authority and executive actions in the realm of immigration law.
