The Trump DOJ said it is exercising the State Secrets Privilege and informed Judge James Boasberg it will no longer provide him with any information related to deportation flights.
Boasberg, an Obama appointee, has been grilling DOJ lawyers about the Trump Administration’s move to deport dangerous Venezuelan aliens under the Alien Enemies Act.
Judge Boasberg said Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport criminal aliens is “incredibly troublesome and problematic” and threatened the Trump Admin with consequences if they violate his order in the future.
On Monday evening, the DOJ had enough of Judge Boasberg’s intrusive orders and invoked the State Secrets Privilege.
“The Executive Branch hereby notifies the Court that no further information will be provided in response to the Court’s March 18, 2025 Minute Order based on the state secrets privilege and the concurrently filed declarations of the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security,” the DOJ wrote.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi told the judge that President Trump has plenary authority under Article II to remove from the homeland designated terrorists.
“This is a case about the President’s plenary authority, derived from Article II and the mandate of the electorate, and reinforced by longstanding statute, to remove from the homeland designated terrorists participating in a state-sponsored invasion of, and predatory incursion into, the United States. The Court has all of the facts it needs to address the compliance issues before it. 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,” the DOJ said.
The DOJ straight up told Boasberg you will get no more information related to the deportation flights and that’s the end of the story.
“No more information is needed to resolve any legal issue in this case. Whether the planes carried one TdA terrorist or a thousand or whether the planes made one stop or ten simply has no bearing on any relevant legal issue. The need for additional information here is not merely “dubious,” or “trivial,” it is non-existent. The Executive Branch violated no valid order through its actions, and the Court has all it needs to evaluate compliance. Accordingly, the Court’s factual inquiry should end,” the DOJ said.
Earlier Monday Judge Boasberg rejected the Trump Administration’s request to vacate the temporary restraining order (TRO), but offered to convert it to a preliminary injunction.
The judge also said the deported criminal aliens deserve individual hearings.
EXACTLY HOW MANY INVADERS GOT INDIVIDUAL “HEARINGS” TO ENTER THE USA?????
THIS JUDGE IS WRONG.....
HE ALSO HAS A SERIOUS CONFLICT OF INTEREST WHEN HIS WIFE’S & DAUGHTER’S INVOLVEMENTS ARE BROUGHT INTO THE PICTURE.
MY DAD WOULD SAY:
“THIS JUDGE IS A LITTLE TOO BIG FOR HIS BRITCHES”
Calling their bluff?
Next will be the contempt of court charge.
Who will blink?
Good! It’s time for this douchey judge to realize his 15 minutes are up. He’s got Little Man syndrome and is too arrogant to realize he’s out of his league. He needs a fat reality check.
Go pound sand Jimbo...
Forcing the issue
The lower court judges seem unable to see that they are no longer trying to break the wallet and will of the lone business man from Palm Beach.
They are taking on the Executive branch of the US government, with resources and attorneys and departments to the horizon.
Gag orders and suppression of evidence won’t work here.
“Next will be the contempt of court charge.”
To be followed by a contempt of the DOJ charge.
Ouch...I can hear MSNBC screaming..
My dad would say:
“He needs to be taken to the woodshed.”
...and sister. It is a smarmy judge’s family reunion
Take a long walk off a short pier would be my response.
>>>BREAKING: Trump DOJ Invokes State Secrets Privilege, Tells Judge Boasberg it will Provide Him No More Info on Deportation Flights.
GOOD! Stay in your own guard rails.
Way to go, Pam Bondi!!
This so called justice system we have where anyone can go judge shopping and find one that most likely supports his position and his decision in the case of a TRO cannot even be appealed is a joke.
Even in the supreme court a single justice doesn’t have that power!
This type of monkey trial needs a serious overhaul.
In order to prevent judge shopping, one way to do it would be that whenever a lawsuit is filed, three judges should be chosen randomly and all three will hear the case and then the majority decides, or alternatively. each side can choose two judges to hear the case and again the majority would decide. In case of a tie the case is thrown out.
Game, Set, Match….. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
