WASHINGTON — The Justice Department is pushing back against a federal judge's request for more information about the deportation flights that took off over the weekend after President Donald Trump invoked the rarely used Alien Enemies Act.
The government submitted a filing Wednesday morning asking for a pause of Boasberg's order to answer his questions.
"Continuing to beat a dead horse solely for the sake of prying from the Government legally immaterial facts and wholly within a sphere of core functions of the Executive Branch is both purposeless and frustrating to the consideration of the actual legal issues at stake in this case," the DOJ wrote in the filing.
In its response Wednesday, the government blasted the judge for accepting its proposal and suggested he not take any action until an appeals court rules on its request for a stay.
"The Court has now spent more time trying to ferret out information about the Government’s flight schedules and relations with foreign countries than it did in investigating the facts before certifying the class action in this case. That observation reflects how upside-down this case has become, as digressive micromanagement has outweighed consideration of the case’s legal issues," the DOJ filing said. "The distraction of the specific facts surrounding the movements of an airplane has derailed this case long enough and should end until the Circuit Court has had a chance to weigh in," it added.

All of the information the Judge requests should be classified ‘secret’, and since he doesn’t have clearance, tough cookies Judgie.
This is really aggravating, if every action by Trump is going to be countermanded by a liberal judge, and then we have to take time to go through hearings, appeals etc before Trump can actually take executive action.
And in the case of the Venezuelan criminals, they set this up for a debate about the constitutional rights of illegal alien criminals. Democrats want to die on that hill?
Judge Boasburg can watch the news like the rest of us who are not leading the federal executive branch.
Sorry, that’s classified.
Trump should just say “Phuk it!!!” and do it anyway....
He's got about 90 ....NINETY CASES AGAINST HIM!!
They want him STOPPED DOING GREAT THINGS!
Don't they also own an ABORTION CLINIC??
The entire federal judiciary has popped out of their lairs, exposing their soft, corrupt, underbelly. It’s a good thing. We can see them for what they arre. Trump flooded the zone and they don’t have the luxury of slow-walking anything, making their decisions seem measured and deliberate. Instead, they are showing their true motives and those motives have nothing to do with law.
You are off by just a tad, it is actually 129.

PRESIDENT TRUMP needs to continually remind these jackass “judges” that they are nothing but lowly district “judgeys”. They don’t run the government. None of the bastards have been elected. That’s why Americans have no respect for them. They are just glorified shyster lawyers in black robes who work for the DemonRAT Party.
“ He’s got about 90 ....NINETY CASES AGAINST HIM!!”
Who filed those cases and who are the justices? That’s the information we need.
OMG!! 129 CASES now???
The underlying premise of these orders, including the most recent one requiring the production of these facts ex parte today at noon, is that the Judicial Branch is superior to the Executive Branch, particularly on non-legal matters involving foreign affairs and national security. The Government disagrees. The two branches are coequal, and the Court’s continued intrusions into the prerogatives of the Executive Branch, especially on a non-legal and factually irrelevant matter, should end.
An UN-ELECTED local judge can dictate foreign policy by nationwide elected POTUS? This is judicial overreach framers of Constitution worried about.
We are witnessing a judicial insurrection.
It appears to be led by the Chief Justice!
And then what? Usual suspects and usual suspects.
It’s very obvious that Bozo-berg is laying a contempt trap. He can say that the planes flew off the runway 10 seconds after he ordered it stopped. This way he can claim that Trump ignored an order by the judiciary.
Pam Bondi should merely say that the details are top secret and outside the preview of an inferior court. Take it or leave it, Bozo.
...And then say, “I’m sorry, I can’t comment on an ongoing investigation.”
Would this idiot judge have us bring these criminals back to the US for some type of trial or to be turned lose?
