JUST IN: Judge Boasberg Responds to Trump DOJ’s Invocation of State Secrets Privilege
Gateway Pun ^ | Mar. 25, 2025 | Cristina Laila

Posted on 03/25/2025 11:29:40 AM PDT by dennisw

Judge James Boasberg on Tuesday morning responded to the Trump DOJ’s move to exercise the State Secrets Privilege and gave lawyers for the deported criminal aliens until March 31 to file a response.

On Monday evening, the Trump DOJ said it is exercising the State Secrets Privilege and informed Judge James Boasberg it will no longer provide him with any information related to deportation flights.

The DOJ on Monday evening straight up told Boasberg you will get no more information related to the deportation flights and that’s the end of the story.

The details about the deportation flights are none of Boasberg’s business, the DOJ said in its Monday night filing.

“No more information is needed to resolve any legal issue in this case. Whether the planes carried one TdA terrorist or a thousand or whether the planes made one stop or ten simply has no bearing on any relevant legal issue. The need for additional information here is not merely “dubious,” or “trivial,” it is non-existent. The Executive Branch violated no valid order through its actions, and the Court has all it needs to evaluate compliance. Accordingly, the Court’s factual inquiry should end,” the DOJ said.

Boasberg, an Obama appointee, has been grilling DOJ lawyers about the Trump Administration’s move to deport dangerous Venezuelan aliens under the Alien Enemies Act.

Judge Boasberg said Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport criminal aliens is “incredibly troublesome and problematic” and threatened the Trump Admin with consequences if they violate his order in the future.

This is the clown who violated the sentencing guidelines for Kevin Clinesmith (convicted for attempting to frame Carter Page by altering an email).

Boasberg gave Clinesmith probation rather than the recommended prison time.

That child throwing a tantrum is incredibly troublesome and problematic.

Boasberg is a nothing and he should be told to go cram it up his hoo-hoo. He’s way out of his lane.

“Sounds like the Judge’s dirty laundry being aired has had an adverse effect on his motivation to press this issue.”

Perhaps, but it seems like it could be MUCH more publicly aired than it has been. However, I’m by no means a regular consumer of the Marxist media so maybe it’s been exposed there more than I think...?

Katharine Boasberg, works for Partners For Justice, a nonprofit that assists illegal aliens in evading justice.

Arrest her for conspiracy to commit immigration violations.

They want to play dirty, show them the consequences.

I would not say it was a slap-down. If they send more flights that would be a slap-down

John Roberts butt-boy:There will be “consequences if you violate my order in the future.”

Team Trump: Come and get us copper.

Nope, but there will be pole riding:)

Pam Bondi just gave this judge the middle finger.

This bodes well for all the other injections. One or two more and the rest of the judges will figure out it isn’t worth the effort.

A judge threatening consequences against Executive decisions are worthless. No one other than the DOJ can enforce them.

Boasberg’s ego is so big he has two DO YOU KNOW WHO I’AM badges on.

Time for some disbarring to start to end the Constitution burning.

I wish they could set a trap to see how the judge’s daughter reacts to it. Why else would he want this specific heads up info?

Eh, who cares.

This judge is irrelevant.

I doubt the lame stream media has reported any of it. I haven't watched any news programming on any platform since 2008. Twitter or X covered it, but I don't do any of those social media sites either.

Now, he just doesn’t yet have a good answer but will spend the next week coming up with one.
