Judge Paula Xinis, an Obama appointee, erupted on the Trump Administration after a conference to address the government’s dispute over discovery in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case. The judge accused the Trump Administration of defying her court order and ordered the government to provide more details by Wednesday about its decision to send Abrego Garcia to CECOT. Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an El Salvadorian national who was illegally residing in Maryland. In 2019, an immigration judge ordered Abrego Garcia, an alleged member of the dangerous MS-13 gang, removed from the US. ...... Snip....... On Tuesday, Judge Xinis accused the Trump...

The ACLU, despite SCOTUS determining DC was the improper jurisdiction, just filed ANOTHER motion seeking a new temp restraining order on behalf of the illegals. The ACLU argued Boasberg still has jurisdiction in the matter. Here is what the ACLU is seeking--and Boasberg just set a briefing schedule on the latest proposed TRO with a hearing set for Monday. "To provide notice to each class member that they have been designated as an 'alien enemy' under the Alien Enemies Act at least 30 days prior to any attempt to remove that class member from the United States under the AEA....

A federal judge who ordered the Trump administration to return an alleged MS-13 gang member wrongly deported to El Salvador last month ruled that she would not hold any government officials in contempt for violating her order — for now — but warned against further “gamesmanship.” US District Judge Paula Xinis said that the federal government failed to provide evidence detailing their efforts to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the United States by April 7 after he was shipped off to El Salvador’s hellhole lockup CECOT. “There will be no tolerance for gamesmanship or grandstanding,” she said at a...

GREENBELT, Maryland — A federal judge ordered an “intense” two-week inquiry into the Trump administration’s refusal to seek the return of a man who was wrongly deported from Maryland to a notorious prison in El Salvador. “To date, what the record shows is that nothing has been done. Nothing,” U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis said at a court hearing Tuesday. Xinis’ order sets up a high-stakes sprint that may force senior Trump administration officials to testify under oath about their response to court orders requiring them to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States. Each day...

GREENBELT, Maryland — An exasperated federal judge commanded the Trump administration Friday to begin providing “daily updates” on whether it is doing anything to comply with her order to return a Maryland man — illegally deported to El Salvador last month — back to the United States. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis scolded the administration for refusing to provide even “basic” details about Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s location, despite her demand for an update by Friday morning.

GREENBELT, Md. (AP) — A federal judge on Friday lambasted a government lawyer who couldn’t explain what, if anything, the Trump administration has done to arrange for the return of a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported last month to a notorious prison in El Salvador. The U.S. government attorney also struggled to provide any information about the whereabouts of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, despite Thursday’s ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court that the Trump administration must bring him back. “Where is he and under whose authority?” U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis asked in a Maryland courtroom. “I’m not asking for...

US District Judge of the US District Court for the District of Maryland, Paula Xinis set a new hearing in the case of alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia after the Supreme Court ruled the US must facilitate his return from El Salvador. Xinis, an Obama appointee set a hearing for Friday afternoon. The US Supreme Court on Thursday ordered the US to facilitate the return of alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The ruling was unanimous. There was no dissent.

In a jaw-dropping report out of court proceedings involving US District Court Judge James Boasberg and the Trump Administration, Obama-appointed Judge Boasberg was alleged to have been rolling his eyes and smirking as the Trump Administration made its arguments before him, raising serious questions about his impartiality. As background, the hearing, which occurred on Thursday, April 3, was over whether there is probable cause for contempt proceedings to move forward against the Trump Administration over its refusal to comply with Judge Boasberg’s emergency injunction demanding it stop deporting MS-13 and Tren de Argua gangsters to El Salvador and turn the...

A federal appeals court on Monday denied the Trump Administration’s request to stop a judge’s order to return alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego to the United States. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals also blasted the DOJ for suspending the DOJ immigration lawyer who repeatedly apologized to the judge last week during a hearing. Last Friday US District Judge of the US District Court for the District of Maryland, Paula Xinis ordered the Trump Administration to return an alleged MS-13 gang member to the United States after he was deported to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison. Judge Xinis ordered...

The radical Obama judge who ordered the Trump Administration to stop deporting criminal illegals mid-flight and is now threatening to potentially jail them for supposedly defying his illegal order was just Loomered again. As Jim Hoft previously reported, Trump-hating radical District Judge James Boasberg, who is running a coup-d-etat of the executive branch, is considering holding Trump officials in contempt for not turning planes around mid-flight and returning over one hundred killers, gangsters, r*pists, and other violent illegal aliens back to the US. Judge Boasberg implemented a Temporary Restraining order on Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport...

Judge Boasberg’s Brother, a former associate at Covington & Burling, Hired Illegal Aliens to Teach American Students, Now He Runs A School In Singapore Promoted By The US State Department ... another shocking conflict of interest involving Judge James Boasberg, who recently threatened to hold Trump administration officials in contempt for failing to provide flight information related to the deportation of illegal Venezuelan gang members belonging to the notorious Tren de Aragua gang. The judge's brother, Tom Boasberg, a fluent Chinese speaker and former superintendent of Denver Public Schools (DPS) for a decade, hired illegal aliens on DACA to teach...

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Friday to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the United States after he was accidentally sent to a notorious megajail in El Salvador. U.S. District Court in Greenbelt, Maryland, Judge Paula Xinis ruled that the government must return Garcia by April 7 at 11:59 pm. Garcia, a protected legal resident who has been living in Maryland since 2011 and is originally from El Salvador, was sent back to El Salvador on March 15 because of what the Trump administration called an “administrative error” in court filings Monday. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin...

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...

Ever wonder what drives a federal judge to order planes full of illegal immigrants, whom are gang members such as MS13 and Tren De Aragua, to turn back? Maybe it’s because his wife runs a NGO funded by USAID, and his daughter Katherine works for Partners for Justice — a group that serves legal support to those very same criminals, thanks to 76% of their cash flow coming from Uncle Sam! This organization is like an anti-deportation cheer squad and even boasts about having knocked off 5,000 years of prison time since 2018. So, when investigative journalist Laura Loomer started...

The radical judge trying to stop President Trump from deporting dangerous illegal aliens has been Loomered. As The Gateway Pundit reported, a federal judge appointed by Barack Obama issued an ’emergency’ injunction Saturday night ordering planes already in the air to turn back mid-flight to prevent the deportation of Tren De Agua members to El Salvador. The case was brought by the Marxist, America-hating ACLU and Democracy Forward. But the order came too late. Two flights from the U.S. carrying nearly 300 Venezuelan and other gang members landed in El Salvador despite Judge James Boasberg’s emergency order. This prompted a...

Chief Judge James Boasberg recently blocked the deportation of Tren de Aragua gang members, a move that has raised serious concerns about judicial impartiality. Investigative journalist Laura Loomer uncovered a major conflict of interest—Boasberg’s daughter, Katherine Boasberg, works for Partners for Justice (PFJ), a nonprofit organization that provides legal support to criminal illegal aliens and gang members. This raises serious ethical concerns, as her father’s rulings directly benefit her employer and its mission. Loomer’s report details that PFJ, where Katherine works as a capacity-building associate, receives 76% of its funding from government grants. The organization actively opposes deportations, mass incarceration,...

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...

Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 James Boasberg, along with 16 DC judges, signed off on the unlawful use of 1512c2--the corporate fraud obstruction statute--against J6ers. He presided over 70 J6 cases, both guilty pleas and conviction at trial. In nearly every instance, Boasberg imposed prison time even for the petty offense of "parading" in the Capitol. He sent 60-year-old Sandra Weyer, a woman from Pennsylvania who committed no violence on Jan 6, to 14 months in federal prison on the unlawful 1512c2 count. After denying several defense motions including change of venue, Boasberg convicted Cynthia Ballenger after a brief bench trial...

House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik filed an ethics complaint against Judge Juan Merchan for an alleged conflict of interest pertaining to his daughter’s role at a firm known for representing Democratic politicians. Merchan, an acting Supreme Court justice in New York, is presiding over the unprecedented criminal trial against former President Trump stemming from charges brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Stefanik, R-N.Y., filed the complaint with the New York State Commission on Judiciary Conduct, warning that Trump, who pleaded not guilty to all 34 counts of falsifying business records, faces "a maximum of 136 years’ imprisonment" if...
