A federal judge has ordered an immediate hold on efforts by President Donald Trump to quickly deport Venezuelan nationals under rarely used wartime powers intended to resist a foreign invasion — and demanded the return of planes already headed to Central America.


U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Saturday ordered the Trump administration to immediately halt efforts to remove those Venezuelan migrants until he has more time to consider whether Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act was illegal.

The lawsuit, brought on behalf of five named Venezuelan immigrants, was provisionally turned into a class action — meaning it serves as a block on deportation of all non-citizens in U.S. custody who are subject to Trump’s proclamation invoking the rarely-used law.
 
This is the court "order" Trump should ignore. What will Boasberg do?

This is a ministerial act by President Trump, and SCOTUS has said in the past that such cannot be challenged in court.


... ordering any flights carrying the supposed criminals to turn around.

US District judge James Boasberg quickly ordered the Trump administration to halt all removals after the commander in chief signed off on a presidential action invoking the 1798 law – aimed at targeting Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua, The Washington Post reported.

The chief judge in the District of Columbia said he heard that “flights are actively departing” and directed US officials to have planes in the air carrying migrants returned to the United States, the outlet reported.

“Any plane containing these folks that is going to take off or is in the air needs to be returned to the United States however that is accomplished,” Boasberg reportedly wrote.

“Make sure it’s complied with immediately.”

The Government agrees that the Court lacks jurisdiction and that it has no authority to stay or enjoin such Executive Branch actions:

On March 15, 2025, without hearing from the United States and relying on speculation about future Presidential action, a District Court lacking jurisdiction purported to halt the potential removal of individuals associated with a designated foreign terrorist organization (“FTO”) and is setting the stage to potentially inject itself into all such removals nationwide at a hearing scheduled for 5:00 p.m. today.A stay pending appeal is manifestly warranted, as is an immediate administrative stay.
The district court immediately enjoined removal of five anonymous plaintiffs who believe they will be wrongly identified as members of the FTO Tren de Argua (“TdA”) and imminently removed. This Court should halt this massive, unauthorized imposition on the Executive’s authority to remove dangerous aliens who pose threats to the American people. That order is immediately appealable because it commands the Executive Branch not to immediately remove plaintiffs, no matter whether the Executive Branch has identified compelling core national security and foreign policy objectives requiring removal

This judge has a looooong history of protecting the Deep State.



"Judge James Boasberg, an ally of SSCI Chairman Mark Warner, has intercepted several cases that brought sunlight upon the corrupt DC system. In each case Boasberg ruled in favor of maintaining the corruption, including his willfully blind support of the FBI searching NSA databases to conduct illegal surveillance of Americans.

This is the same Judge Boasberg who sat as presiding judge on the FISA court. The same Judge Boasberg who gave FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith a slap on the wrist for manufacturing evidence used in the Carter Page FISA application that defrauded the court. The same Judge Boasberg who appointed former DOJ-NSD head Mary McCord as amicus curiae advisor to the court, after she knowingly and fraudulently submitted the FISA application to the court.

This is the same Judge Boasberg gave J6 FBI agent provocateur Ray Epps a sentence of probation. This is the same judge who, on his vacation, went to sit in the DC courtroom to observe defendant President Trump who was forced to appear in DC court. This is the same Boasberg who established a horrible precedent in forcing Vice-President Mike Pence to testify before a DC grand jury about his conversations with President Trump (breaking executive privilege).

Boasberg sits at the epicenter of a thoroughly corrupt and compromised DC court system."

Amazing that liberals and their judges would want illegal gang members in our country. Boggles the mind.
