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.

LOL...Boasberg didn't really respond. He kicked it back to the plaintiffs and asked "Do you guys want to respond?"

KEY TAKEAWAY -
ACLU and other lawyers for the deported criminal aliens have until March 31 to file a response.

Bozoberg had nothing else new to say to the DOJ. He’ll let his ACLU good buddies speak for him with their upcoming response.

This judicial activism needs to stop. The moment a judge proves himself incapable of delivering impartial rulings is the day the should be removed from the bench.

My local Justice of the Peace has ordered Trump to let me fly around in Air Force One. Part of the order requires Trump to add a stripper pole to the plane so my friends I bring along will be comfy. Oh, and it also requires that Trump provide tequila and condoms.

Precisely! And because Bozo and the ACLU are good buddies from way back. ACLU has Bozo on speed dial, when they can roust a big shot Federale judge on a Saturday to do their bidding, for the crims flown to the El Salvador prison

Judge Baseboard 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.

Exactly what consequences, Judge Baseboard? Your threat to the President and his staff ought to entitle you to one free visit from the United States Secret Service.

What should be at issue is who is the plaintiff and who is the defendant. I also wonder if once these crooks are out of the country how they could be plaintiffs anyway.

This judge is a fool but maybe is figuring out that he is playing with a very capable adversary. The stove he is touching is getting warmer and warmer.

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

I think you’re being unreasonable by asking for tequila.

“”My local Justice of the Peace has ordered Trump to let me fly around in Air Force One. Part of the order requires Trump to add a stripper pole to the plane so my friends I bring along will be comfy. Oh, and it also requires that Trump provide tequila and condoms.””

Has the Justice ordered that you be the one on the pole?

The behavior of these judges is like if NFL referees decided that they had the power not just to police the rules of the game but to also determine which plays the coaches are permitted to call. In fact, it’s as if those same refs also could nix a play they didn’t like while it was in progress and order that the coach stop calling it.

The referees are not coaches and judges are not the President.

Let’s get it on big boy.

Like the mob, criminals don’t like the spotlight.

This guy has put himself out there as a target and he’s up against Trump and the electorate and he stands a good chance of exposing the liberal SCOTUS pay to rule corruption that’s been gwine on.

I’m glad they slapped this would-be judicial tyrant down. They shouldn’t even give him the time of day.
