Trump Administration Faces Escalating Legal Battle Over Alien Enemies Act Deportations

Federal court scrutiny intensifies as Judge Boasberg investigates potential defiance of deportation halt order, while Supreme Court involvement looms.

• The Trump administration is under investigation by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg for allegedly defying a court order to halt deportation flights of Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act.
• President Trump has called for Judge Boasberg's impeachment, prompting a rare public rebuke from Chief Justice John Roberts, who emphasized that impeachment is not a proper response to judicial disagreements.
• The administration has faced a record number of nationwide injunctions this year, significantly surpassing those faced by previous administrations, as courts challenge its policies.
• Legal experts, including conservative voices, warn of a potential constitutional crisis, citing the administration's resistance to adverse rulings and its combative stance against the judiciary.
• The Supreme Court is expected to weigh in on the Alien Enemies Act case, which could set significant precedents for the balance of power between the executive and judicial branches.
