Trump Administration Faces Legal Showdown Over Alleged Defiance of Deportation Order
Federal judge investigates whether the administration violated a court order blocking deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, raising constitutional concerns.
- U.S. District Judge James Boasberg is probing whether the Trump administration defied his restraining order by deporting Venezuelan nationals under the Alien Enemies Act.
- The administration argues the deportation flights were already in progress when the order was issued and is considering invoking state-secrets privilege to withhold further details.
- Concerns have been raised about due process violations, with reports suggesting some deportees lacked ties to the alleged gang and may have been wrongfully removed.
- President Trump has called for Judge Boasberg's impeachment, prompting a rare public rebuke from Chief Justice John Roberts, who defended judicial independence.
- An appeals hearing on the legality of the deportations is scheduled for March 25, as the case escalates into a broader debate over executive power and judicial authority.
