Judge Boasberg Grants 24-Hour Stay in Alien Enemies Act Case, But Blasts Trump Admin in Latest Court Order
Gateway Pundit ^ | March 19, 2025 | Staff

Judge James Boasberg granted a 24 hour stay in the Enemies Alien Act case, but he made sure to blast the Trump Administration in his latest court order.

President Trump’s DOJ earlier Tuesday accused Judge Boasberg of being engaged in “picayune dispute over micromanagement of immaterial factfinding” for asking whether the government defied his previous order related to ordering planes en route to Central America deporting dangerous Venezuelan aliens to turn around.

“What began as a dispute between litigants over the President’s authority to protect the national security and manage the foreign relations of the United States pursuant to both a longstanding Congressional authorization and the President’s core constitutional authorities has devolved into a picayune dispute over the micromanagement of immaterial factfinding. In a series of orders this Court has requested the Government to provide it details about the movements of aircraft outside of the United States and interactions with foreign nations which have no bearing on any legal issue at stake in the case,” the DOJ wrote.

There is currently a showdown between the DOJ and Boasberg after he demanded national security details from President Trump on the routes and times of his flights of violent illegal aliens to El Salvador.

The Justice Department on Tuesday once again refused to give Judge James Boasberg sensitive information in a case against Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act.

As White House advisor Stephen Miller pointed out on CNN, the Supreme Court previously ruled that any Alien Enemy Act removals by a US President are not subject to judicial review.

The DOJ on Wednesday morning slammed Judge Boasberg’s latest order as an “egregious overreach” into the powers of the Executive Branch.

Boasberg later Wednesday granted a 24-hour stay, he blasted the Trump Administration in his order.

The Judge challenged the government’s argument related to disclosing state secrets and said it has to make a “formal claim of privilege, lodged by the head of the department.”

Judge Boasberg said disclosing sensitive information won’t put state secrets in danger because Secretary of State Marco Rubio has publicly spoken about the deportation flights.

“Defendants make that claim despite their own extensive promotion of the particulars of the flights. For example, the Secretary of State has revealed many operational details of the flights, including the number of people involved in the flights, many of their identities, the facility to which they were brought, their manner of treatment, and the time window during which these events occurred,” the judge wrote.

“The Court is therefore unsure at this time how compliance with its Minute Order would jeopardize state secrets,” the judge said in a snarky remark.

The Court, accordingly, ORDERS that:

1. Defendants’ [37] Motion is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART; and

2. Defendants shall have until March 20, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. to provide the information discussed in the Minute Order of March 18, 2025, or to invoke the state-secrets doctrine and explain the basis for such invocation.

He granted one more delay, and he will grant as many more as the DOJ demands.

In the end, this judge is just going to give up his attempts to interfere with the Executive Branch.

There were 64 Nation Wide Injunctions against Trump 1.0.

There were 15 just this last February [1] against Trump 2.0. That's on track for over 180 Nation Wide TRO's against Trump 2.0's first year alone.

There's a clear pattern here and it's unsustainable. The SCOTUS needs to rein in the lower courts.

Trump needs to release a meme to the judge: “Talk to the hand”.

Yep. This judge is pissing into the wind. He will keep trying for a while, but I suspect he already knows he’s going to be disgraced and a butt of jokes among the Federal Judiciary.

Boasberg starting to understand Trump is serious about impeachments with their picayune acts even some of the democrats are anti court riggings.

If every act by the legislature or executive is judicially reviewable then the judiciary is supreme. But some will never that not every act is. But who decides what isn’t? The judiciary.

A cluster of epic proportions.

These small court judges just need to go large.

They should declare themselves sovereigns in charge of all three branches, able to write law, change law, interpret law, enforce law, apply law, over all 57 states.

Meanwhile, the Supremes are mannequins.

This judge is offensively obtuse:

“Judge Boasberg said disclosing sensitive information won’t put state secrets in danger because Secretary of State Marco Rubio has publicly spoken about the deportation flights.”

“For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision.”
John Roberts

Well it's no longer working because the USA is on the brink of destruction and judicial decisions such as this are blocking the attempts of the American People to prevent its destruction; so it's time to depart from what's been established.

A smarter justice wouldn't have to be told this.

The black-robed General, even though helped by
pedophiles, terrorists, rapists and murderers,
was ONLY elected by his daughter and sisters,
and the other corrupt anti-Constitutional black-robes,
because of their endless need for stolen taxpayer funds.

I would like see the entire conservative network set off to make these judges the most despised people in the united states. They should be too ashamed to show their faces in public. No violence. Just purely despised. Every moment of every day they should be called out for being the despicable traitors that they are.

The good news is that the judge will never notice that Gruyere and Emmenthal cheeses are still on the menu.

It takes some people longer than others to comprehend and accept what is happening. Normalcy bias is real. Glad you’re not in that crowd. 😁
