WASHINGTON — The Department of Justice late Monday invoked the “state secrets privilege” to block a federal judge from obtaining information about deportation flights carried out under a wartime law.
District of Columbia District Judge James E. Boasberg has been trying to determine if the Trump administration violated a restraining order he had placed in connection with the deportations of Venezuelans under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
The Trump administration said Monday further details could not be provided about the flights to El Salvador, where the alleged gang members were sent to a mega-prison.
The filing, signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi, uses the state secrets privilege to refuse answering questions posed in a March 18 order from Boasberg, the chief judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The privilege is a common-law doctrine that protects sensitive national security information from being released.
“The Court has all of the facts it needs to address the compliance issues before it,” according to the DOJ filing. “Further intrusions on the Executive Branch would present dangerous and wholly unwarranted separation-of-powers harms with respect to diplomatic and national security concerns that the Court lacks competence to address.”

boasberg could have just joined the top level national security call with the Atlantic and asked there. problem solved.
Kristi Noem is going to El Salvador this week. She will actually visit the super max prison. I bet not one whistle or catcall will be heard while she’s there.
Not unless they want their heads caved in.
About damn time. Obama and Holder did whatever the hell they wanted, and frequently told judges to f-off. Time for Trump’s folks to do the same. This is war, dammit.
That’s going to drive them batty. Because that judge was on the FISA court. Lol
This is like watching a life-sized chess game play out.
1) Should Judge Borscht Belt hold anyone in the Trump Administration in contempt, Trump could just pardon them. This probably doesn’t apply to the Judge holding Trump himself in contempt which would however be legally untenable.
2) The Supreme Court is eventually going to have to weigh in on the concept of a District Court Judge issuing a nationwide injunction.
“District of Columbia District Judge James E. Boasberg”
Smart enough to take the 2 million to rule in favor of the elitist.
Not smart enough to realize he is ahead of his blockers.
Used to be fun fkng American Citizens over.
You took the shot and you missed.
So FUMF!!
Spotlight for you and your criminal family and friends.
You’d look good in prison horse face.
It’s Reality Television.
I love it.
Fk the Supreme Court.
4 liberal judges ignore the law for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ every time.
This is civil war shit.
I heard the judge didn’t issue a written order. Is this true?
As we say in industry “If you don’t write it down it didn’t happen”.
I think you are correct. That’s what the Administration attorneys argued.
I WAS HOPING TRUMP WOULD DO THIS!!!!
A chess game?
Do you mean the kind where somebody actually might die at the end?
The United States as the king on one side and the globalists as the king on the other side.
Feel the BURN Judge Bozo.
That is true.
If every illegal required a week of “individualized hearings” before deportation, it would take 2.7 million man-years to get rid of them. And that’s using conservative low-ball numbers.
Judge Bozo cannot be trusted with State Secrets. Trump admin giving Bozo the middle finger.
And shut off the tracking beacons on the deportation flights. This was how the ACLU was alerted that criminals were being deported.
“Because that judge was on the FISA court. Lol”
Whatever security clearances he has, they are not good enough team Tr47. His fellow black robes will have some hearty laughs at Judge Bozos expense.
