Judicial Imperialism: The House of Boasberg and the Left’s War on Sovereignty
American Thinker ^ | April 13, 2025 | Charlton Allen

The Supreme Court’s order on Monday granting the Trump administration’s emergency request to lift a lower court stay on deportations of certain Venezuelan nationals was unsigned, swift, and unmistakable in its signal—or signals.

For now, the executive branch retains its sovereign authority to enforce immigration law

. ..

The Left’s lawfare brigades remain dug in—launching salvo after salvo—with their campaign of sabotage unfolding in courtrooms and press releases alike, aimed less at justice than at jurisdictional chaos, narrative warfare, and no matter what, thwarting the duly-elected president of the United States.

Make no mistake: this is a war of attrition—not waged with ballots or legislation, but with briefs and bench rulings. It aims to nullify the last presidential election—and a statute nearly as old as the Constitution itself. Its arsenal: blunt injunctions and the sharpened blades of ideological jurisprudence.

This latest flashpoint emerged from a power grab cloaked in humanitarian concern. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg of Washington, D.C., issued a temporary restraining order halting the deportation of alleged members of Tren de Aragua, Venezuela’s most violent criminal syndicate—now embedded within U.S. borders, a legacy of the Biden-era’s open-border indulgence.

...

In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court lifted Judge Boasberg’s stay. Chief Justice Roberts joined Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh.

...

Boasberg’s reach wasn’t legal—it was imperial. His ruling crossed state lines and national borders,

...

Boasberg had no business taking the case, much less freezing national deportation policy from chambers well beyond the reach of his jurisdiction.

...

The Left’s strategy is tired but effective: file in friendly jurisdictions—D.C., San Francisco, Manhattan—seek emergency relief, spin the narrative, and dare the executive to fight back.

...

the war is far from over. It has only just begun. Stay tuned—the next battle is already on the docket.

PBS interview someday soon.

Journalist: Do you think your role as an historic judicial titan in taking down Trump to save democracy was destined for you when you were born or do you think it was thrust upon you by the urgent needs of Americans?

Democrats really are bottom feeders. Criminals always come first.
