We have another ruling in the case involving Venezuelan nationals identified as members of Tren de Aragua and removed from the U.S. to El Salvador in March pursuant to a proclamation signed by President Trump, which invoked the Alien Enemies Act. Monday afternoon, Judge James Boasberg entered an order granting summary judgment to the plaintiffs in the case styled J.G.G. v. Trump. Boasberg also granted the plaintiffs' motion for class certification and denied the Trump administration's motion for summary judgment.

A federal appeals court on Monday took Judge Boasberg to task and delayed his contempt hearings until 2026. In March Boasberg granted a temporary restraining order (TRO) to stop the Trump administration from deporting thousands of Venezuelan nationals believed to be members of Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang under the Alien Enemies Act. Boasberg then threatened to hold Trump officials in contempt for not bringing some of the world’s most vicious killers, criminals, and rapists back to the United States. Judge Boasberg said he found probable cause to hold the Trump Administration in criminal contempt of court for defying his...

WASHINGTON — Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) released additional FBI files Wednesday revealing that hundreds more Republican groups and persons were targeted in a “fishing expedition” brought by special counsel Jack Smith. In a press conference alongside other GOP senators, Grassley announced that he was making public the 197 subpoenas issued by Smith as part of the Arctic Frost probe, which became “the vehicle by which FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors could improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus.” “I’ve obtained through legally protected whistleblower disclosures,” Grassley said. “197 subpoenas were issued by Jack Smith and his team. These subpoenas were...

Did you know Judge Boasberg protected Ray Epps? He gave Ray probation while locking everyone else up. That is why it is important for Americans to once and for all know if Ray Epps was a federal asset on Jan 6th. (Hint: he was) It would unravel the entire operation. ... It's pathetic that Republicans have not dragged Boasberg through the impeachment process yet. ... rinos and dems are on the same team ... Raskin, Epps, Norm Eisen and his filmmaker Nick Quested all need to be investigated for J6. ... Don’t forget Jamie Raskin…he and Ray Epps I believe...

Activist judges like Judge Boasberg are are issuing blatantly unlawful nationwide injunctions. It’s not judicial review, it’s judicial sabotage.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that the Trump administration must give more than 100 migrants sent to a notorious prison in El Salvador a chance to challenge their deportations. U.S. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg said that people who were sent to the prison in March under an 18th-century wartime law haven’t been able to formally contest the removals or allegations that they are members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. He ordered the administration to work toward giving them a way to file those challenges. The judge wrote that “significant evidence” has surfaced...

Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 Breaking: As I have warned, Jeb Boasberg just filed an opinion finding Trump adm officials in contempt. 11:06 AM · Apr 16, 2025

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) claimed Wednesday on CNN’s “News Central” ” that U.S. District Judge James Boasberg was a “great judicial hero” for finding probable cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt for disobeying his order to halt deportations. Raskin said, “Judge Boasberg goes to great pains to restate the precedent going back to 1967, Walker vs. Birmingham, holding that you’ve got to comply with a court order, even if you know, they were in the wrong court, even if for some reason there’s a change. Look, Judge Boasberg, who was a President Bush appointee when he originally...

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...

WTF?! Judge Boasberg, the activist judge BLOCKING Trump from deporting violent gang members, intentionally DELAYED the release of Hillary Clinton’s emails until after the 2016 election He’s also now “coincidentally” presiding over the Signal case This is RIGGED! How do people not see that?

Obama-appointed Judge James Boasberg on Monday rejected the Trump Administration’s request to vacate the temporary restraining order (TRO), but offered to convert it to a preliminary injunction. Since TROs are typically unappealable, the Trump Administration will be able to appeal if the TRO is converted to an injunction. The Trump Administration has until March 26 to inform the court. Boasberg said the deported aliens are entitled to individual hearings!
