Incensed that he isn't getting obedience from President Trump regarding his several orders related to the deportation of more than 200 members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, Federal District Court Judge James Boasberg pointed out "my term of office is for life. Mr. Trump's is only for four years. I can easily outlast him. If he doesn't comply with my orders I can hold him in contempt. I can fine him. I can order him held in jail until he complies. He can't win this battle with me."
US Attorney General Pam Bondi pointed out that "Judge Boasberg's victory dance is premature. He is only a district judge. Donald Trump is President of the United States. Tren de Aragua is an internationally recognized dangerous criminal organization. Its members who have entered the US illegally are subject to immediate deportation for that offense alone. Tren de Aragua has engaged in drug smuggling, kidnapping, rape, human trafficking, extortion, and murder. They are violent invaders of our country. No one can seriously argue that they ought to be able to stay inside our country to continue to victimize the American people."
Boasberg rebutted Bondi's assertions, saying "none of those that Trump ordered deported have been convicted of crimes committed here. If some of them are suspected of committing crimes here it is Ms. Bondi's responsibility to prosecute them. Until they are convicted of those crimes their civil rights must not be infringed. A judge will decide whether they must post bail or be released on their own recognizance while awaiting trial. As for gang members not currently suspected of any crimes--they must be immediately released and provided with free transportation to the destination of their choice within the United States. This is the policy Mr. Trump inherited from President Biden. If he wants to alter that policy he must convince a court that he ought to be allowed to do so."
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) confirmed Judge Boasberg's position, saying "we put 235 progressive judges on the bench when Biden was president for the express purpose to defend our democracy in the event that we lost the 2024 election. I'm extremely pleased to see that this is precisely what they are doing. Whether it be restoring the right of undocumented persons to reside in our country that President Biden gave to them or for federal employees to continue doing the work they had been doing for decades without the interference of a chief executive who disapproves of that work, these progressive judges are coming through with flying colors."

Perhaps he can repeat his threat under oath before Congress.
their civil rights must not be infringed...
Illegal invaders have no rights.
During an invasion, you don’t have to convict the opposing army of a damn thing. It’s self evident.
Sort of reminds me of a chihuahua barking and snapping at a rottweiler.
The WOT (AUMF) is still in effect.
You don't read Miranda Rights to terrorists. You kill them. These guys are getting off easy with just the plane rides to prison.
Investigate their financial and internet activity. Guarantee these holy than thou judges are as corrupt as the day is long, and just as sick in the head.
Power creates arrogance, arrogance creates a mind set that theu can do what they want and get away with it
UP CHUCK just admitted that during the Presidency of Joe Biden, the Democrat Party intentionally rigged our legal system to allow ILLEGAL ALIENS—including those known to be DEADLY dangerous GANG MEMBERS—to enter our country and wreak havoc on its CITIZENS.
Some, like me, call that TREASON!
I wonder why we didn’t have a judge do this when Pancho Villa burned down Columbus New Mexico in 1916? Was there a court order against Wilson? Was Pershing told to stand down? The US wasn’t in any war at the time but Pershing followed Villa into Mexico and I don’t recall that Villa has any due process?
that usually works. my mom had a more. sturdy built chihuahua, whose volume and ferocity in protective behavior when guarding the family made more than one large dog think “not today, don’t really want any of that.”
The judge’s daughter Katherine works for PARTNERS FOR JUSTICE,. This organization represents illegals and was given $3.38 million last year by the federal government. He is protecting his daughter‘s turf and her job. She’s receiving most of the money from USAID. Hopefully this money is going to be revoked or it has been revoked.
AMEN!
Until big boy’s patience runs out.
The wife was also getting a chunk of taxpayers dollars for some far left cause. Grifters just like the Bidens. So obvious why they don’t want DOGE cutting wasteful spending.
How many divisions does judge Boasberg have?
Appointed for life eh? Never put an expired date on something that can be altered judge. By the way judge, any order to arrest Trump is not enforceable. Besides, immigration law is an administrative court within the executive branch so go GFY.
I’m really get tired of old Pumpkin Head Boasberg’s childish tantrums. His whining is overly loud. The boy needs a new job. Maybe kissing TDA members asses or filling out their assylum applications.
You people should be thankful for living in this new, glorious age where we’ve been gifted with supernatural, all-powerful robed beings who’s powers are seemingly limitless.
Just as soon as they straighten out the Administration and slap down yapping Republicans they’ll turn their attention to giving sight to the blind, curing cancer and balancing the national budget.
(note I listed said miracles in order of difficulty)
I’m missing the satire part. Lol.
