Judge blocking Trump deportations played key role in Trump-Russia FISA saga

The federal judge who is blocking Trump’s efforts to deport Venezuelan gang members also played a key and controversial role in the Trump-Russia collusion saga as the leader of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

Judge James Boasberg, nominated to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by then-President Barack Obama in 2011, is currently engaged in an all-out legal battle with the Trump Justice Department.

But in his role as the head of the FISA Court he made a number of divisive decisions, including a slap on the wrist for a member of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane team, the appointment of officials who had defended the FBI’s actions during the Russiagate saga, the renewal of the FBI’s FISA powers, and more.

Trump invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act this month against Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan criminal gang which Trump said “is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization with thousands of members, many of whom have unlawfully infiltrated the United States and are conducting irregular warfare and undertaking hostile actions against the United States.”

The Trump administration sent three planes carrying more than 200 illegal immigrants from Venezuela to El Salvador, and Boasberg issued an order temporarily blocking the administration from using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to carry out deportations. The judge also attempted unsuccessfully to stop multiple U.S. deportation flights from leaving the country.

“This Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, was not elected President… This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!!” Trump said on Truth Social on Tuesday. “WE DON’T WANT VICIOUS, VIOLENT, AND DEMENTED CRIMINALS, MANY OF THEM DERANGED MURDERERS, IN OUR COUNTRY.”

Obviously an arrogant and unethical ideologue who thinks his opinions and desires supersede those of the rest of us. Characteristics of a small person.

Just saying “Dorkbama appointed judge” says all that needs be said. After that we can give he/she/it/whatever all the disregard and neglect that they so very truly deserve.

Perhaps the Deep State is seeking federal judges and others who mistreated Trump during his first term to file injunctions or lead opposition against him now. If any charges from the original first term ‘cold cases’ were to be filed against this judge, for his FISA actions, the Left/Deep State will rave that Trump is retaliating against any judge who doesn’t do what he wants now.

Not shocking that a hispanic guy like Judge James Boasberg wants to keep illegals from South America here in the USA.

Since the Democrats and their adoring media have been screaming “retaliation” and “revenge”, in order to pre-set the narrative since before the election, Trump and his team should just go ahead and start dispensing justice. The left can continue screaming into the void.

This is the third conflict of interest I have seen with this judge.

Get a warrant to search his personal computer, for PC money laundering.
Then, check his banking records, & all communications with Cayman Island Financial institutions.
I’ll bet one of my houses on the findings.

Same 'judges' who didn't give a damn about letting J6 AMERICANS sit in jail for over a year without trial or chargea - ZERO 'due process' for Americans and changed their tune?

Now these weirdo types of 'judges' are crying for rapists and murderers who aren't citizens being deported? I'm guessing George Soros and the Chinese bought these human filth 'judges' off...
