U.S. District Judge James Boasberg issued two orders this week in the wife-beater Abrego Garcia case, determining whether people deported to El Salvador should be returned, and whether the U.S. even has the power to return them.
He’s getting anonymous people in El Salvador to join the ACLU lawsuit against the Trump administration. How is this legal?
On March 15, 137 Venezuelan migrants were sent to the jail known as CECOT, accused of being members of gangs. Many detainees say they aren’t gang members. Of course, they would say that.
Boasberg ordered on May 7 that the court needs more information to assess the extent to which the U.S. can bring them back to the U.S. In this order, he also gave those in El Salvador who are joining the initial plaintiffs in the case the right to use pseudonyms to remain anonymous. Now, we don’t even know who’s objecting.
In a May 8 filing, Boasberg set out the discovery process for this information. He said that
By May 9, respondents “shall submit any declarations they wish to provide regarding whether the United States has constructive custody over the proposed CECOT class.”
By May 12, he added: “Petitioners shall submit to the Court a notice regarding whether they wish to seek jurisdictional discovery, and, if so, the specific discovery they propose to propound.”
By May 14: “Respondents shall submit any response to Petitioners’ discovery proposal,” he ordered.

Judging by his dictatorial actions, Stalin, Hitler and Mao would seem to be his heroes.
This fool has had his 15 minutes of infamy…time for relegation to the thrash heap along with his ‘legacy’ idiot backers…
“The Executive Branch hereby notifies the Court that no further information will be provided in response to the Court’s March 18, 2025 Minute Order based on the state secrets privilege and the concurrently filed declarations of the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security,” the DOJ wrote.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi told the judge that President Trump has plenary authority under Article II to remove from the homeland designated terrorists.
“This is a case about the President’s plenary authority, derived from Article II and the mandate of the electorate, and reinforced by longstanding statute, to remove from the homeland designated terrorists participating in a state-sponsored invasion of, and predatory incursion into, the United States. The Court has all of the facts it needs to address the compliance issues before it. Further intrusions on the Executive Branch would present dangerous and wholly unwarranted separation-of-powers harms with respect to diplomatic and national security concerns that the Court lacks competence to address,” the DOJ said.
The DOJ straight up told Boasberg you will get no more information related to the deportation flights and that’s the end of the story.
Yes. And Boasberg later stated he has no more options.
But now, he is building his own case.
The core of the problem with the judges here is lots more than leftism or craziness, it is corruption. People act this irrationally for a reason.
Everyone can see this clown is just a meddling leftist idiot now. State Secrets Act – there won’t be any further communication or information for you, Bovineberg. You’re legally out of the loop now because you have no standing anymore.
This crackpot judge reminds me of the judge in the Flynn case, who also was trying to build his own prosecution
