A federal judge in Washington plans to press the Trump administration at a hearing on Monday about whether it has violated an order he issued barring officials from removing any detained noncitizens — including several suspected Venezuelan gang members — from the country with little or no due process.
The hearing was scheduled by the judge, James E. Boasberg, even as President Trump’s so-called border czar, Tom Homan, made defiant remarks on television, indicating that the administration planned to continue such deportations despite the court’s order — an action that could thrust the country into a constitutional crisis, pitting one of the coequal branches of the government against another.
“We’re not stopping,” Mr. Homan said Monday, during an appearance on Fox News. “I don’t care what the judges think, I don’t care what the left thinks. We’re coming.”
Mr. Homan defended the administration’s decision to fly more than 200 immigrants to El Salvador over the weekend, including individuals the government identified as members of the Tren de Aragua criminal gang. He added that the public should expect more deportation flights “every day.”
The legal battle over the removal of the immigrants was the latest — and perhaps most serious — flashpoint yet between federal courts, which have sought to curb many of Mr. Trump’s recent executive actions, and an administration that has repeatedly come close to openly refusing to comply with judicial orders.
Mr. Trump himself expressed skepticism about a ruling last week by a federal judge in California ordering the administration to rehire thousands of fired probationary workers. Mr. Trump told reporters on Sunday night that the judge was “putting himself in the position of the president of the United States, who was elected by close to 80 million votes.”
The hearing in the deported immigrant case was scheduled...

What’s he gonna do.....put the Trump administration on double secret probation?
Yeah right, dig deeper jacka$$, expose yourself more.
The answer to this is to load up another plane with these animals.
a better case the libs should use is what just happened to the transplant surgeon. I believe she was still on US soil when the Judge ordered her to stay while he reviewed the situation.
Here is why she was deported

Rasha Alawieh, a Lebanese doctor and Brown University professor here on a visa, just got DEPORTED after feds found out she attended a funeral for HEZBOLLAH TERROR CHIEF Hassan Nasrallah in Lebanon.

More details:
“Rasha Alawieh was questioned about multiple photos she had on her phone of Hasssan Nasrallah, a leader of the terrorist organization in Lebanon, Hezbollah…In explaining why these multiple photos were deleted by her one to two days before she arrived at Logan Airport, she stated that she did not want to give authorities the perception that she supports Hezbollah and the Ayatollah politically or militarily,” 🤦♂️
so the judge is saying it was illegal to take these individuals (who came into the country illegally) out of the country?
The judge should be made to explain why he refuses to adhere to clear Supreme Court precedence of Mississippi v. Johnson or immediately vacate his previous order.
The Executive Branch has an inherent right to interpret existing law. PDJT made clear that the AG and he himself are so authorized. (That is, not just anyone in the Executive Branch is authorized to do so.)
Impeach this bum!
Hey SCOTUS, get off your lazy asses and fix this. This IS a Constitutional crisis
It's simple logic. 🤡
Tom Holman deserves the Medal of Freedom for his efforts.
Yeah, I don’t remember voting for Judge whatever the f*ck his name is.
Some unelected POS has no athority over the President of the United States.
Unless you’re a total POS like Amy.
Amy the worthless. Amy the girl who thought she could upend the constitution, the one she swore to uphold.
Amy, the total C.
...and just when John call it a tax in the face of Government can not forcibly charge for services.
He’s a piker to John with her 677 tyrants in black ropes ruling.
The only question is how much was she paid buy our enemies to sell out America?
Trump has sworn an oath to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution ... and the Judicial Branch — including the USSC, thus far — is doing everything it can to prevent him from doing so!
I see that the NYT is going to keep on this hoping the democrats use it as an excuse to impeach Trump.
In a system replete with checks and balances, what is the check against this America hating Judge? Impeachment? Insurrection? Treason? Something else?
That’s one option. Probably the least dramatic.
Other options include:
The executive branch can ignore rulings which violate the constitution.
Congress can remove justices from office who rule in violation of the constitution.
Who will act first?
Did this judge have a written signed court order delivered and handed directly to the President by the judge or his designee? If not then how was the President supposed to know exactly what the judge ordered and how to respond? Can’t expect the President to be directed by press reports.
