  • WATCH: Judge Says 'Nazis Got Better Treatment' Than Deported Gang Members, Tom Homan Roasts Her

    Red State ^ | 03/24/2025 | Bonchie
    The absurdity coming from left-wing judges escalated on Monday when one of them claimed that "nazis got better treatment" than the Venezuelan gang members the Trump administration recently deported. Judge Patricia Millett made the statement during oral argument before the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on the government's motion to stay the temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by Judge James Boasberg, using the setting to chastise the federal government for its supposed mistreatment of alleged members of the violent Tren de Aragua gang. "There were plane loads of people. There were no procedures in place to notify people," Judge Patricia...

  • Boasberg’s Judicial Coup Update: Judge Gives President Trump Deadline of Tuesday for Compliance

    The Conservative Treehouse ^ | March 21, 2025 | Sundance
    Judge James Boasberg issues a three-page order [SEE HERE] demanding the Trump administration deliver cabinet level details about their criminal alien deportation operation. Boasberg claims the information provided to him so far is “woefully inadequate,” and lacks the citations of what cabinet-level officials were involved in deporting criminal illegal aliens and Tren de Aragua gang members protected by a leftist immigration organization employing Judge Boasberg’s daughter. Judge Boasberg appears to be focused on generating a contempt order against the Trump administration. Presumably, this would give Boasberg’s allied Democrats in congress a foothold for their needed 2028 election effort and another...
  • Trump Goes Nuclear Against Activist Lawyers Undermining His Presidency

    The radical Left's latest scheme to derail President Trump's America First agenda has reached a fever pitch, with over 100 frivolous lawsuits filed against his administration since January. But Trump isn't taking their lawfare lying down. In a bold move that should have Democrats and their army of activist attorneys panicking, Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate anti-Trump lawyers and law firms attempting to hamstring his presidency through baseless litigation. The timing couldn't be more critical, with an unprecedented 15 injunctions slapped against presidential actions just last month—far more than Obama or Biden ever faced. The Left's desperation...

    Article II, § 1, Sentence 1, .. “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.” That’s pretty simple.. as the Supreme Court loves to say, “Black Letter Law.” Further, in more words from the Court, it is “unqualified.” That means that all power in the Executive Branch belongs to Donald Trump. No “ifs,” “buts,” or “excepts.” “All” means “all.” Put bluntly, as long as he occupies the White House, every bureaucrat is obligated to do what he says. ... This isn’t complicated, and as push comes to shove, all the Supreme Court needs...

    Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer just admitted on PBS that Democrats intentionally stacked the courts with 235 “progressive judges” in order to stop President Donald Trump “time after time after time.” Since President Trump triumphantly returned to the White House on January 20, 2025, his administration has faced an all-out legal assault — not from Congress or the will of the American people — but from a weaponized judicial branch hijacked by radical leftists. In just under two months, President Trump has been hit with 132 legal challenges, with only two resolved. And now, Chuck Schumer has admitted it all...

How do you maintain a democratic form of government in which the people are supposed to have a say in how they’re governed? You don’t, actually. It would be, and is, impossible. Indeed, the entire point of the administrative state is to render elections largely meaningless. Whether it’s a change of president in the White House or a shift in the congressional majority, the goal is to strip the authority of the political branches to adjudicate political questions and place that authority in...

    Amid the growing battle between President Donald Trump and the courts, a once-unthinkable question is harder to shrug off: Will the administration deliberately defy federal judges if it doesn’t get what it wants? The issue has come into sharp relief in the challenge to the administration’s deportation of Venezuelan nationals under the purported authority of the Alien Enemies Act. The presiding judge — James Boasberg, chief judge of the federal district court in Washington, D.C. — directed the government from the bench to turn the planes around carrying the deportees. That did not happen, though the administration claims it did...

    A federal judge on Thursday barred DOGE from accessing social security systems. US District Judge Ellen Hollander, an Obama appointee, said DOGE’s workers are on a “fishing expedition.” “The DOGE Team is essentially engaged in a fishing expedition at SSA, in search of a fraud epidemic, based on little more than suspicion. It has launched a search for the proverbial needle in the haystack, without any concrete knowledge that the needle is actually in the haystack,” Judge Hollander wrote. Far-left organizations like AFL-CIO, the American Federation of Teachers and other plaintiffs sued the Social Security Administration, Elon Musk, DOGE and...

    The Judicial Insurrection Is Worse Than You Think The point of all the injunctions and restraining orders is to preserve the supreme rule of unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats.At this point it’s not too much to say that the federal judiciary has plunged us into a constitutional crisis. The fusillade of injunctions and temporary restraining orders issued by district court judges in recent weeks against the Trump administration — on everything from foreign aid to immigration enforcement to Defense Department enlistment policy to climate change grants for Citibank — boggles the mind.More nationwide injunctions and restraining orders have been issued...

    As President Trump and DOGE continue their attempts to dismantle the fraud and waste in our government, there are some judges who think that they can read the minds of both the president and Elon Musk, believing they also possess the power to overrule based on such assumptions, facts be damned. One of the latest cases, from Obama-appointee U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang’s 68-page opinion, via NPR:‘[T]he Court finds that Defendants’ actions taken to shut down USAID on an accelerated basis, including its apparent decision to permanently close USAID headquarters without the approval of a duly appointed USAID Officer, likely...

    A judge has slammed a lawyer representing the Trump administration for ignoring his order to turn around a planeload full of illegal immigrants en route to El Salvador. More than 200 suspected gang members from the feared Tren de Aragua who were illegally living in the United States were sent to El Salvador on Sunday after Trump invoked the wartime Aliens Enemies Act. US District Judge James Boasberg had issued an order to temporarily halt the deportations, telling Trump's lawyers in court that any plane already in the air must turn around and return to US soil. But a later...

    The Trump administration on Monday repeatedly stonewalled a federal judge seeking answers about whether the government had violated his order barring the deportation of more than 200 noncitizens without due process, escalating a conflict that threatened to become a constitutional crisis. At a hearing in Federal District Court in Washington, a Justice Department lawyer refused to answer any detailed questions about the deportation flights to El Salvador that took place over the weekend, arguing that President Trump had broad authority to remove the immigrants from the United States under an obscure wartime law known as the Alien Enemies Act.

The case may soon reach the Supreme Court, where the Trump administration has already asked the justices to rule on...

    Plaintiffs cannot use these proceedings to interfere with the President’s national-security and foreign-affairs authority, and the Court lacks jurisdiction to do so. In response to Plaintiffs’ filing (Dkt. 21) and this Court’s order setting a hearing for this afternoon, the government submits the below response. Because it provides the necessary information to confirm the government’s compliance, and represents the full extent of what counsel is authorized to share with the public or Plaintiffs, the Court should vacate the hearing and de-escalate the grave incursions on Executive Branch authority that have already arisen.
