BREAKING: Appeals Court Denies Trump DOJ Request to Lift Boasberg’s Block on Alien Enemies Act Deportation Flights
Gateway Pundit ^ | March 26, 2025 | Staff

Posted on 03/26/2025 8:03:29 PM PDT by Red Badger

The DC Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday denied the Trump DOJ’s request to lift Judge Boasberg’s block on the Alien Enemies Act deportation flights.

The three judge panel on the DC Circuit Court: Henderson (George W. Bush appointee), Millett (Obama appointee), and Walker (Trump appointee) voted 2-1 – with Judge Walker dissenting.

Last Friday, Judge Boasberg said Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport criminal aliens is “incredibly troublesome and problematic.”

Boasberg has been grilling DOJ lawyers about the Trump Administration’s move to deport dangerous Venezuelan aliens under the Alien Enemies Act.

A showdown between Boasberg and the Trump DOJ has played out in court last month after the judge issued an order forcing planes en route to Central and South America carrying dangerous Venezuelan aliens to turn around and come back to the US.

On Wednesday, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals denied Trump’s request to lift Boasberg’s order.

Judge Henderson based her decision on the idea that Trump failed to justify the claim of “invasion” when referring to the criminal aliens.

“The theme that rings true is that an invasion is a military affair, not one of migration,” Judge Henderson wrote.

Boasberg said the deported aliens are entitled to individual hearings.

In his dissent, Judge Walker, the Trump appointee, said the criminal aliens need to challenge the case in Texas since that is where the flights were deported from.

Of course. That was a foregone conclusion in the DC Circuit. Now to see how SCOTUS rules.

The DC Circuit Court of Appeals..."

There was little doubt what that communist cabal would do...
Just a baby step to the SCOTUS...

This is the GOP House's moment of truth: Disband the DC court or lose a lot of votes, in two years...

Remember the election years when large blocks of GOP voters stayed home...

either way, our constitutional free republic is dangling.

nobody was supposed to wake up to the 1 million dollar price tag on an injuction or Supreme Court ruling

In a legal context, “consolidation” generally means combining or uniting multiple legal matters, cases, or entities into a single entity or proceeding, often to streamline proceedings and avoid conflicting outcomes.

Consolidate all these judgefare cases and present them in one fell swoop to the Supremes with one issue for review:
“Does the judiciary have jurisdiction to inject itself into the actions of the executive branch and “political questions”?
You can search the legal meanings of “political questions” and “judicial overreach” yourself, though I’ll suggest that all courts, from the SCOTUS down traditionally excuse themselves from hearing “non-justiciable matters”.

The DOJ should make it clear to CJ Roberts that the Executive branch will consider these decisions under advisement, as advisory opinions, until a decision is reached by the supreme court.
I have spoken. heh

I’m just tired of it all. The way this nation is set up, its just not tenable, not when there’s such a minority of honest, moral people in high places. The founders warned us of how the govt they created would fail if and when those conditions arose.

The MAGA revolution will be over after the Midterms. These judges are throwing sand in the gears.

Can’t deport?

Okay, they want to stay on US soil?

Gitmo for those from cold weather countries.

Make escape easy. Jungle will fix it. Maybe the natives.

Northern Alaska for those from hot weather countries.

Make escape easy. The Polar Bears will fix it.

Limited creature comforts.

Court Dates 2040.

Offer voluntary deportations and they will want to go home.

No offer to the worst.

Female logic. The text also specifies “predatory incursion” which this unequivocally is. The leaders of those countries specifically and literally say that they are taking back their lands in the USA.

I think you might be correct. But we aren’t going away, and they aren’t either. Next time they have power they will be far more vicious than before.

And eventually, things will have to be decided.
