Far-left U.S. District Judge James Boasberg questioned Trump administration attorneys bitterly on Thursday over whether they violated a court order blocking deportations under a wartime immigration statute, thereby raising the possibility of contempt proceedings.
Boasberg is opposed to the administration’s use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans, including suspected members of the violent Tren de Aragua gang.
Boasberg is investigating whether there is sufficient evidence to pursue contempt, allowing him to imprison Trump officials. He’s laying a contempt trap.
During the hearing, Boasberg repeatedly pressed Ensign for details on who within the Trump administration had knowledge of the deportation flights and when exactly the three planes departed U.S. soil for El Salvador, Fox reported. On that day, at least 261 migrants were deported, including over 100 Venezuelan nationals removed “solely on the basis” of the law that the court had temporarily blocked.
Government attorneys won’t give details.
Why does Boasberg even have jurisdiction? He has jurisdiction only in his own mind.
Margot Cleveland of The Federalist writes:
Yesterday Trump Administration filed a reply in SCOTUS in Alien Enemies Act case. This paragraph sums up the point I’ve been stressing: Judge Boasberg so wanted to stop removal that he bypassed question of whether he had jurisdiction.
There are many difficult legal questions with no precedent regarding the Alien Enemies Act, but you can’t ignore jurisdiction because you really, really, really want to stop something you believe is bad…either at the start of the case or mid-flight!
Congress also has political question to answer: Does it want to amend the Alien Enemies Act to require process beyond habeas? To limit President’s authority? To define undefined terms?
SCOTUS could save a lot of wasted time by granting motion and vacating order. I debate whether SCOTUS has authority to enter delay impact of its ruling by some procedure to allow time for habeas filing in Texas, but Plaintiff’s attorneys are gambling by not filing there.
The docket is here.
Boasberg wants to get Trump officials for contempt. That could lead to prison.
When Ensign responded that he believed the Trump administration did comply with Boasberg’s order, the judge shot back: “It seems to me there’s a fair likelihood that that is not correct, in fact that the government acted in bad faith throughout that day.”

Resolution to Remove Boasberg
Andy Biggs introduced a resolution on March 31, 2025, to remove Judge James Boasberg from the federal bench. He accuses him of “activist” rulings, like those against Trump’s deportation policies, that violate the “good behavior” standard for judges under the Constitution. We need 218 in the House and 51 in the Senate.
If only enough Republicans would sign up. I doubt they will:

This is what Hitler meant when he said that America would collapse from within under the weight of these “precious apostles of culture” (jews escaping lefties institutions in Germany) it loves so much..
Since Bidung used prospective pardons Trump can use PROSPECTIVE pardons.
Pardon everyone to shield them from crimes committed ridding our country of invaders.
Boasberg the Inspector Javert…out to do what many others have tried and failed to do: jail Trump.
Since when do Judges get to be prosecutors?
these judges are cancer infect our nation
As a district court judge, biasberg has no authority to make Article II Executive Branch decisions. His lower court authority is district limited to plaintiffs before him. No national injunctions or otherwise. District courts were created by congress and can be ended by congress.
If biasberg wanted to be president and have executive branch article II authority he should have ran for President.
Trump should ignore any rulings coming from inferior courts just as other US Presidents needed to and have.
deport and destroy these communist judges
Why is this POS so-called judge still sucking air ?
Trump should follow the example of the zombie that occupied the White House until this past January, that is, preemptively pardon everyone involved in deporting illegal aliens.
Boasberg was arrested about 2 weeks ago. He is probably headed to GITMO to face a military tribunal. Someone is acting in his behalf.

The trap he is setting may be his own. We will not allow a judge to try and run the government from his bench in any manner. He needs to step back and know his place, or ELSE. Trump or his team could have that P0S expedited to Guantanamo for Insurrection
Boasberg is the one who’s contemptible. He’s the plaintiff in a case that he created – a personal vendetta advocating for the return of violent criminals who were legally deported.
It’s just another left-wing toddler tantrum. The guy truly looks deranged. It wouldn’t be a surprise to find out he slithers out in the middle of the night in an Antifa outfit to key Teslas.
There should be an observer in his courtroom. Have the pardons ready to go. Make the pardon announcement within two minutes of his issuing the contempt ruling.
The behavior of Boasberg fits into a category. Boasberg fits in somewhere with the coup against Trump. He has to be associated with the far left, the invasion, the cartels, the globalists and so on. So, he is part of a conspiracy. There is no reason he would act in this way unless he was part of a criminal conspiracy.
Junk news sources like the RINO Channel I am sure claim Boasberg is just some irrational enraged leftist. No way.
The eternal battle between ‘good’ and ‘evil’…”They” honestly believe that “they” are ‘good’….yeah like burning down Tesla dealerships and abetting criminals IS GOOD!!!
Beware of RINO Bondi. Her public behavior is blatantly superficial. We may be entering a period in which Bondi begins more open defiance of Trump:
In a rare courtroom exchange at Friday’s hearing, the lawyer defending the government in the case expressed exasperation with the administration’s approach and its refusal to respond to his queries.
“I am also frustrated that I have no answer for you on a lot of these questions,” said Erez Reuveni, an assistant director in the Justice Department’s Office of Immigration Litigation. “The government made a choice here to produce no evidence.”
…At another point, Reuveni said he’d asked why the U.S. couldn’t seek Abrego Garcia’s return and was rebuffed. “When this case landed on my desk, I asked my clients that very question. I have not received to date an answer that I find satisfactory,” he said. Shortly before the judge ruled, the visibly frustrated attorney pleaded with Xinis for 24 hours to try to persuade U.S. officials to try to seek Abrego Garcia’s return without intervention by the court.
“I would ask the court to give us, the defendants, one more chance to do this,” Reuveni said. “That’s my recommendation to my client, but so far that hasn’t happened.”
Hilarious! And pardon himself for anything and everything on his way out the door. Lawfare is total BS. Democrats are scum. I pray daily that they remain leaderless and lost in the woods, and that the voters despise them for their wickedness. When democrats get any power they always use it for evil.
Boasberg is committing an actual insurrection.
He has ZERO authority to usurp presidential
power under Article II. Every time he does try, it’s treason.
Hang him.
Publicly.

Doxx Boasberg, and let the blood flow where it may.
Nothing would really happen there. Republicans overall are law-abiding to the point of our own detriment; because we know we will absolutely be held to account in a way no Democrat would.
Boasberg feels he can be so brazen precisely because he knows none of his targets are people who would take the law into their own hands like he and his allies do.
That knucklehead is giving corrupt partisan morons everywhere a bad name.
When this anti-judge is removed from the bench, I’ll pass out candy in the street.
When Democrats are in the White House,
Democrats threaten to or send Republicans to prison.

Different President ; same result
Different party ; same result
When Chicago was under Al Capone’s control, you could replace the police chief with another one, it made no difference, Al Capone was in charge of Chicago.
No matter who is in the White House, Democrats are apparently in charge.
Democrats are the Deep State and
the Democrat Deep State is a crime syndicate.
A crime syndicate that has access to Trillions of dollars ( a large part of it stolen/embezzled from agencies such as USAID )
I love Trump, but he is fighting something a thousand times larger than him.
But he has something that they don’t, and it’s infinitely larger than them.
Massive nutsack filled with balls
Banish the fool from the bench!
Our founders would have ended it for this POS!
