U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Thursday grilled Trump administration lawyers over whether they defied a court order blocking deportations under a wartime immigration law — a potential step toward holding the administration in contempt.
At issue is the administration’s use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan nationals, including alleged members of the violent Tren de Aragua gang. Boasberg pressed Deputy Assistant Attorney General Drew Ensign on why the government appeared to ignore an emergency injunction last month halting those deportations.
The administration has appealed the underlying case to the Supreme Court. But for now, Boasberg is weighing whether there is probable cause to move forward with contempt proceedings — a question that remained open after a tense exchange in court.
Boasberg said he would issue a decision as early as next week on how to proceed if he finds grounds to hold the administration in contempt...

Is MAGA really going to lose to a bunch of leftist district court judges?
This illegitimate pig has got to go. SCOTUS needs to get off its ass and do something about this weaponized far-lefty “judge”. Throw his butt in Gitmo. Americans come first.
Hope he doesn’t put this on anybody’s permanent record.
Team Trump must be getting advice from W on how not to fight back.
When is judge Boasberg’s 15 minutes of fame up? And who, I ask, will tell him?
CONGRESS AND SCOTUS needs to get off its ass and do something about this weaponized far-lefty “judge”..................
Is MAGA really going to lose to a bunch of leftist district court judges?
With John Roberts, maybe so.
RESIGN: Justice Roberts’ secret friendship with Norm Eisen has been revealed…
If there is already an appeal to SCOTUS pending, then why would this judge keep going back over the same issues? Seems like he’s showing some unprofessional pettiness.

Ignore this lawless freak. He cannot enforce “contempt” against the Trump Administration.
No.
biasberg is teeing up another adam shift impeachment process
mark my words
Just today confirmed Trump’s pick to head Civil Rights division at DOJ. The branch empowered to go after judges, prosecutors and law enforcement officials who infringe upon normal folks’s “rights!” Branch was very active under Obama and Biden and never well cleaned during Trump 45. Hope Harmeet Dhillon purges it, restocks it with MAGA and becomes lefty lawfare’s worst nightmare.
He’s going to hold in contempt a co-equal branch of government? Funny. The Constitution clearly provides Congress alone the power to resolve matters of Executive misbehavior.
The court can pound sand.
BETCHA Trump is ‘giving him enough rope to hang himself.’
“If you don’t comply with my orders, I’m going to write a letter to your mother.”
He’s basically that tattler Judy Hentzler playing self-appointed class monitor while Miss Landers is in the can.
“He’s writing down names!”
AG Bondi should write him a tactful letter which basically says, “Take your list of names, roll them up tight and stuff them.”
This judicial “resistance” should be shut down now.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg is extremely contemptible.
Fortunately for him, Traitor Roberts is his best butt buddy.
Paired with Leo Terrell, that ought to shake things up a bit.
