U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg hinted at possible contempt proceedings as he grilled a government lawyer Thursday about whether the Trump administration violated his court order by failing to turn around planes carrying migrants to a Salvadoran prison.
Boasberg made no decisions following a court hearing even as he otherwise pushed the administration to detail its timeline and decision-making as it loaded more than 200 migrants onto a plane amid a court battle to block the deportations.
He pushed back when a Justice Department attorney said the administration followed the law and his orders.
“It seems to me there’s a fair likelihood that that is not correct, in fact that the government acted in bad faith throughout that day. If you really believed everything you did that day was legal and could survive a court challenge, I can’t believe you ever would have operated the way you did,” Boasberg said.
He dove into the timeline of the Trump administration’s actions, from signing an order igniting the Alien Enemies Act on Friday, March 14, but not publicizing it until the next day to preparations for flights even as Boasberg scheduled a hearing.
The law allows the government to swiftly deport citizens of an enemy nation. President Trump has maintained the Tren de Aragua gang is acting at the behest of the Venezuelan government, using the war powers to deport Venezuelans. It’s the only time the law has been used to address gang activity.

"Son, you're on your own."
Contempt.
Yes, that’s the right word.
Total, complete, absolute contempt for this corrupt slime weasel and his imperial decrees.
Everything Boasberg has done is in bad faith.
This errant “judge” has zero jurisdiction over this. Zero. If I were President Trump I’d just ignore the clown, let him issue whatever “orders” he wants, and flush them down the toilet. Perhaps in a White House lawn public ceremony. It’s time that the judi costumes cleaned up. Public contempt for the law is largely the consequence of patently unjust courts
Like Eric Holder and his contempt citation, ask the court to print it on Cottonelle 2-ply.
The US Marshals’ office answers to AG Malibu Barbie, who answers to president Trump.
As president Andrew Jackson put it. “You’ve made your Order, judge. Now enforce it.”
It will go to the Supreme Court. It may be that in principle it does not have to, but I’m expecting that it will.
Seems like Boasberg is toying with interference with the military. Time for a little lawfare. Search warrant on his house for evidence of collusion with the enemy. Perp walk him out of his cozy court. Put him in Jeffrey Eppstein’s jail cell.
Boasberg should be ordered to testify before Congress. And he can be held in contempt.
This so called judge of a district is attemptiously a logan act violator in that the interjection into foreign affairs by a private citizen is forbodden.
He is violating US Code on immigration with his interference.
Arrest him.
Congress should subpoena Roberts to testify in a committee hearing about Out-of-Control inferior court judges and what he is going to do about them. Yes, Congress can do that.
JUDGE IS IN TOTAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST POSITION,.
I double-dog dare some conservative judge to issue a ruling that the attorneys in the case must first have permission before they sneeze, fart, eat, drink, pee, poop, or breathe.
Just to see whether they really think ALL judicial decisions are legally binding.
Eat feces, BiasedJerk.
This stooge is a terrorist POS.
Yes. An Arrogant one.
“Trump could have declared an invasion and suspended habeas corpus.”
The judge needs to be reminded of that, publicly.
Maybe ask him if that is what he’d like to happen.
He’s a district judge who has gone way out on a limb by exercising his non-existent authority over the presidency on international and national security matters.
