In a Friday night hearing, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said he was “sympathetic” to activists’ concerns over the Trump administration’s deportation of illegal aliens under the Alien Enemies Act, but he doesn't “think I have the power” to stop them.
It was surely frustrating to the activist judge who always seemed to rule harshly against J6ers but has come across as extremely sympathetic to the non-citizen criminals that Trump was trying to send out of our country. A recent Supreme Court ruling tied his hands, however:
US District Judge James Boasberg denied an emergency request from lawyers for alleged Venezuelan gang members… seeking to block “imminent” deportations under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.
The American Civil Liberties Union, which is representing suspected Tren de Aragua gang members being detained in Texas, had asked Boasberg to issue a temporary restraining order requiring 30 days’ notice from the Trump administration before any of their clients are deported under the 18th-century law after learning the removal notices had recently been issued to detainees.
“I’m sympathetic to your conundrum, but I don’t think I have the power to do anything about it,” Boasberg said during an emergency hearing in the District Court for Washington, DC.
The judge noted that a Supreme Court ruling earlier this month, which lifted his pause on the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act, determined that if “detainees are confined in Texas … venue is improper in the District of Columbia.”

he should nonetheless be punished for the blatant overreach
Sounds like an Abuse under of color of law statement to me.
Hee hee hee.
All hat and no cattle.
Boasberg needs to be tried for treason and suffer the consequences of a conviction.
Oh, so you don’t even have the authority to be making all these demands in the first place?
Well then, sit down and shut up, Your “Honor”!
Emergency justice for Texas is Justice Alito. ACLU will have tall hat and no cattle.

To the fullest extent of the law.
My thoughts exactly.
He needs to be disbarred AND thrown out of being a judge.
Trump fights for us like no other and against the worst absolute worst array of those trying to stop us
People here who don’t see that I just don’t get
I’ve never seem likes of this in my life and Ive followed stuff since 69/70
Exactly!
We shall see how this plays out...
They suffer from severe TDS and are NOT Conservatives!
The light bulb finally went on at the top of dumb a**’ head.
I guess he got a John Roberts sauna room conversation.
So, who called this Dim and read him his position?
I would wager Chuck or Nancy, certainly not anyone from the Supreme Court.
So his feelings are more important than the law.
Maybe he’s like the neighbors dog who finally figured out what the shock collar does and that it’s better to just stay in his yard.
