A federal judge has preemptively barred the Trump administration from deporting five Venezuelan nationals
A federal judge has preemptively barred the Trump administration from deporting five Venezuelan nationals, as the administration prepares to deploy a rarely used law meant to quickly remove foreigners during wartime or invasion.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg issued the urgent ruling Saturday morning, citing “exigent circumstances,” just hours after a lawsuit was filed on behalf of five Venezuelan men who say they have been cued up for deportation within hours or days as a result of Trump’s expected decision to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
Boasberg, the chief judge for the federal district court in Washington, D.C., also called for a hearing Saturday afternoon on the lawsuit’s effort to ensure anyone else targeted by Trump’s expected invocation is protected from immediate deportation.
The lawsuit, filed by Democracy Forward and the ACLU, emphasizes that the Alien Enemies Act has only been invoked during wartime — the War of 1812, World War I and World War II. The order by Boasberg was issued with unusual urgency, before the Trump administration had a chance to respond.

238 Venezuelan criminals arrived today - this video is
Quote:
Today, the first 238 members of the Venezuelan criminal organization, Tren de Aragua, arrived in our country. They were immediately transferred to CECOT, the Terrorism Confinement Center, for a period of one year (renewable).
The United States will pay a very low fee for them, but a high one for us.
Over time, these actions, combined with the production already being generated by more than 40,000 inmates engaged in various workshops and labor under the Zero Idleness program, will help make our prison system self-sustainable. As of today, it costs $200 million per year.
On this occasion, the U.S. has also sent us 23 MS-13 members wanted by Salvadoran justice, including two ringleaders. One of them is a member of the criminal organization’s highest structure.
This will help us finalize intelligence gathering and go after the last remnants of MS-13, including its former and new members, money, weapons, drugs, hideouts, collaborators, and sponsors.
As always, we continue advancing in the fight against organized crime. But this time, we are also helping our allies, making our prison system self-sustainable, and obtaining vital intelligence to make our country an even safer place. All in a single action.
May God bless El Salvador, and may God bless the United States.

Re: A federal judge has preemptively barred the Trump administration from deporting five Venezuelan nationals
The Trump administration has asked the D.C. Circuit to remove Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg from the Venezuelan deportations case, arguing he improperly turned it into a class action suit. Officials also stated they “cannot and will not” be compelled to address national security matters at today’s hearing.
Re: A federal judge has preemptively barred the Trump administration from deporting five Venezuelan nationals
A federal judge gave the Justice Department a Tuesday deadline to provide additional information on the Trump administration’s defiance of a court order halting deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members, according to a court docket.
The Trump administration's decision to disregard the judge's order sets up a high stakes battle between the power of the executive and judicial branches.
The Department of Justice on Monday asked to cancel a hearing in the case scheduled for later that afternoon, stating it would not be providing any more information about the flights, but U.S. District Judge James Boasberg denied the request.
Attorneys for the DOJ argued during the hearing that no deportation flights took off from the U.S. after Boasberg's Saturday order, per the New York Times.
They also argued his order issued verbally from the bench was not definitive, as opposed to the written one issued less than an hour later.
ACLU lawyers reiterated their request that the government issue sworn declarations about details on the flights.

I WON FOR MANY REASONS, IN AN OVERWHELMING MANDATE, BUT FIGHTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION MAY HAVE BEEN THE NUMBER ONE REASON FOR THIS HISTORIC VICTORY. I’m just doing what the VOTERS wanted me to do. This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges’ I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!! WE DON’T WANT VICIOUS, VIOLENT, AND DEMENTED CRIMINALS, MANY OF THEM DERANGED MURDERERS, IN OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!"

Re: A federal judge has preemptively barred the Trump administration from deporting five Venezuelan nationals
DOJ seeks to delay releasing deportation flight information, saying judge is "continuing to beat a dead horse"
The Justice Department is mounting a last-minute bid to avoid providing a federal judge with more information about deportations the Trump administration carried out last weekend under the Alien Enemies Act, saying the request could impact national security.
The emergency filing from Attorney General Pam Bondi and other top DOJ officials to Boasberg comes just hours before a noon deadline for the government to provide the judge, under seal, with answers to a slew of questions about the deportations — including the exact timing of when two planes carrying migrants took off from US soil and left US airspace on Saturday, as well as the specific times individuals deported pursuant to President Donald Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act were transferred out of US custody that day.
The seven-page filing escalates an ongoing dispute between Trump’s Justice Department and Boasberg, an appointee of former President Barack Obama and the current chief judge of the federal trial-level court in Washington, DC.
The officials told Boasberg he should pause the noon deadline in part to give them time to decide whether to “invoke the state secrets privilege” to evade compliance with his request.

Re: A federal judge has preemptively barred the Trump administration from deporting five Venezuelan nationals
The federal judge who is blocking Trump’s efforts to deport Venezuelan gang members also played a key and controversial role in the Trump-Russia collusion saga as the leader of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
Judge James Boasberg, nominated to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by then-President Barack Obama in 2011, is currently engaged in an all-out legal battle with the Trump Justice Department.
But in his role as the head of the FISA Court he made a number of divisive decisions, including a slap on the wrist for a member of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane team, the appointment of officials who had defended the FBI’s actions during the Russiagate saga, the renewal of the FBI’s FISA powers, and more.

Re: A federal judge has preemptively barred the Trump administration from deporting five Venezuelan nationals
A federal judge on Thursday blasted the Justice Department’s latest response to his demand for more information about deportation flights that were carried out under a wartime law known as the Alien Enemies Act, calling it “woefully insufficient.”
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg wrote in a three-page ruling that the government “again evaded its obligations” to provide information that he had been demanding for days about the timing of the Saturday flights.
He said he wanted a sworn declaration by a “person with direct involvement in the Cabinet-level discussions regarding invocation of the state-secrets privilege” by Friday morning, and to be notified of any decision on the issue by Tuesday.

Re: A federal judge has preemptively barred the Trump administration from deporting five Venezuelan nationals
PRESIDENT TRUMP:
Unlawful Nationwide Injunctions by Radical Left Judges could very well lead to the destruction of our Country! These people are Lunatics, who do not care, even a little bit, about the repercussions from their very dangerous and incorrect Decisions and Rulings. Lawyers endlessly search the United States for these Judges, and file lawsuits as quickly as they find them. It is then the obligation of Law abiding Agencies of Government to have these “Orders” overturned. The danger is unparalleled! These Judges want to assume the Powers of the Presidency, without having to attain 80 Million Votes. They want all of the advantages with none of the risks. Again, a President has to be allowed to act quickly and decisively about such matters as returning murderers, drug lords, rapists, and other such type criminals back to their Homeland, or to other locations that will allow our Country to be SAFE. It is our goal to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and such a high aspiration can never be done if Radical and Highly Partisan Judges are allowed to stand in the way of JUSTICE. STOP NATIONWIDE INJUNCTIONS NOW, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. If Justice Roberts and the United States Supreme Court do not fix this toxic and unprecedented situation IMMEDIATELY, our Country is in very serious trouble!
Judge James Boasberg is doing everything in his power to usurp the Power of the Presidency. He is a local, unknown Judge, a Grandstander, looking for publicity, and it cannot be for any other reason, because his “Rulings” are so ridiculous, and inept. SAVE AMERICA!

The judge who temporarily blocked President Trump's administration from deporting alleged Venezuelan gang members under a 1798 law will hold a hearing on Friday over whether to maintain the ban while also considering whether officials violated the order.
Lawyers for the administration and the American Civil Liberties Union, which sued on behalf of some of the migrants in a bid to block their deportation, will present their cases before Washington-based U.S. District Judge James Boasberg at a hearing at 2:30 p.m. EDT (1830 GMT).

You gotta be kidding me
: A U.S. appeals court judge said on Monday that Nazis were given more rights to contest their removal from the United States during World War Two than Venezuelan migrants deported by the Trump administration.
In a contentious hearing, U.S. Circuit Judge Patricia Millett questioned government lawyer Drew Ensign on whether Venezuelans targeted for removal under a little-used 18th-century law had time to contest the Trump administration's assertion that they were members of the Tren de Aragua gang before they were put on planes and deported to El Salvador.
"Nazis got better treatment under the Alien Enemies Act than has happened here," Millett said, to which Ensign responded, "We certainly dispute the Nazi analogy."

Jim Jordan Sets Start Date For Hearing On Judge Targeted By Trump Admin Over Deportations Standoff
House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan anticipated on Monday that hearings aimed at grilling judge James Boasberg, targeted by the Trump administration over his legal challenge to the use of a wartime act to swiftly deport hundreds of Venezuelans, will take place next week.
Speaking to Fox News, Jordan said "it looks like" Boasberg's decisions are "getting totally political." He went on to say that President Donald Trump is "on solid ground" legally and said Boasberg's decision to order the planes be turned back (something ignored by the administration) is "crazy."
"You got this judge making this crazy decision - 'turn the plane around, bring the bad guys back to America,'" Jordan said.
Boasberg, on his end, rejected on Monday lifting a temporary restraining order blocking the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport suspected members of Venezuelan-born gang Tren de Aragua with little to no due process.

Lawyers hired by the Venezuelan government filed a legal action Monday in El Salvador aimed at freeing 238 Venezuelans deported by the United States who are being held in a Salvadoran maximum-security prison.
Jaime Ortega, who says he represents 30 of the imprisoned Venezuelans, said they filed the habeas corpus petition with the Supreme Court’s Constitutional Chamber. He said that by extension they requested that it be applied to all Venezuelans detained in El Salvador.
The maneuver essentially compels the government to prove someone’s detention was justified.

President Trump on Thursday called for an investigation into how U.S. District Judge James Boasberg landed four high-profile cases against his administration, saying the odds of him having so many cases is “statistically impossible.”
Judge Boasberg, who was nominated by President Barack Obama, will preside over a lawsuit against five Cabinet members over the use of Signal to coordinate military strikes in Yemen. The suit was filed by American Oversight, a government accountability watchdog. It alleges the use of Signal runs afoul of the federal law that governs the preservation of records and asks the court to order the Cabinet members to preserve the messages.
Judge Boasberg is also overseeing a case filed by the Project on Government Oversight alleging that the Department of Government Efficiency is violating federal law by classifying its records as “presidential records,” making them immune to the Freedom of Information Act.
Beyond those, he’s presiding over a case about the administration’s aim to close diversity, equity and inclusion offices in the federal government.

An Arizona congressman introduced legislation Monday to remove the federal judge who has blocked President Donald Trump's efforts to deport Venezuelan gang members, offering a novel path that avoids the impeachment process and the need for two-thirds support in the U.S. Senate.
Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., filed a resolution that would remove U.S. District Judge James Boasberg for “failing to maintain the standard of good behavior required of judges" under Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution.
Biggs argued the clause gives Congress the authority to remove judges that it believes have failed to uphold that standard short of using impeachment.

The comments from Boasberg mark a significant escalation in a standoff between the administration and the chief judge of the trial-level court in Washington, DC, over deportation flights it allowed to continue last month despite his orders that the government turn the planes around immediately pending a legal challenge to Trump’s use of the sweeping wartime authority.
