This 1996 law also allows them to seize property for non-payment.

Boasberg blocked the administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act for a 14-day period last month to allow the court time to review the case on its merits. The order drew scathing criticism from Trump, who labeled Boasberg an "activist judge" and called for his impeachment – prompting a rare warning from Chief Justice John Roberts.
Boasberg has said he will decide as early as this week whether to pursue civil contempt proceedings against Trump administration officials for defying his order.
A federal judge is weighing whether to hold Trump administration officials in civil contempt after they defied a court order blocking deportation flights last month – even as the Supreme Court on Monday handed the administration a temporary legal victory, allowing it to resume use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal immigrants.
President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda is colliding with the federal judiciary as his administration races to fulfill a central campaign promise: mass deportations. The aggressive pace – which has included the removal of alleged members of violent transnational gangs – has triggered a wave of legal challenges from critics who claim the administration is unlawfully ejecting migrants from the country.
The high court’s 5–4 decision, which Trump praised on X as a "great day for justice in America," lifted a lower court’s injunction and allows deportations to resume for now, though with added due process protections. The unsigned, four-page ruling focused narrowly on the lower court’s order and permits the administration to invoke the wartime-era Alien Enemies Act to expedite removals.
However, the ruling does little to halt the escalating feud between the Trump administration and U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who has signaled he may hold administration officials in contempt for defying his order last month to ground deportation flights.

Boasberg has done Americans a great service. He exposed the unchecked corrupt underbelly of the black robes. From nepotism to bribery, to extortion, they have a “club”.
SCOTUS rules his order was illegal, but he plans to hold the government in contempt because they hesitated to follow his unlawful order. All three branches have the responsibility to interpret the constitution, not just the judicial. He is insane.
Judge Kangaroo vs The Trump Administration and common sense. The Alien Enemies Act states that no judicial review is allowed. That use of it is up the Executive - President Trump. In a better world SC Justice Roberts would be telling Bozoberg the facts of life.
The fascist better just forget about being contemptable and resign. His reign of judicial terror is over. And that goes for his fascist comrades too. Especially the bottomfeeders who came to America seeking asylum or “a better life” and want to make America like the sewer they crawled out of.
5 to 4 decision, did ACB vote against? It doesn’t say.
we knew this during Covid - Trump 1.0. this time around the scope of the Resistance is much broader.
“in civil contempt after they defied a court order blocking deportation flights last month “
So the “journalist” who wrote this has decided that presumption of innocence does not apply to team Trump.
Yes, she voted against.
5-4. The Justices against the Scotus lesbian wing.
Yes, all the WOMEN on the Court voted AGAINST.
SCOTUS ruled the venue was inappropriate and the case should be heard in Texas.
Today, Boasberg asked the Plaintiffs in the Alien Enemies Act case if they had other matters that he needed to address and to let him know by April 17th (I think I have that date right). He is one arrogant S.O.B.
Boasberg doesn’t have jurisdiction. The only thing he needs to do is dismiss the plaintiffs’ case stating that fact.
Yes ACB stabbed us in the back..again. She will side with the illegals every time going forward as expected.
The SC held he doesn’t have jurisdiction. No jurisdiction means no jurisdiction. Period.
“prompting a rare warning from Chief Justice John Roberts.”
“Warning”? I would say whining complaint.
This 1996 law also allows them to seize property for non-payment.
Perhaps the DOJ should countersue this idiot basstid and his vile ilk? Spit.
Contempt is meaningless anyway.
Yes, Amy Conehead Barrett voted with the sisterhood, again.
We really got duped with ACB.
