"Flights are actively departing and plan to depart. I do not believe that I am able to wait any longer," Boasberg said.

He also ordered the Trump administration to immediately turn around two planes carrying noncitizens if they are covered by his order, including one that potentially took off during a break in the court's hearing.

"You shall inform your clients of this immediately any plane containing these folks that is going to take off or is in the air needs to be returned to the United States," he said. "However that's accomplished, turning around the plane, or not embarking anyone on the plane…this is something that you need to make sure is complied with immediately."

LOL.  What a putz. 

[Smokin Joe]

And if the plane has bingo fuel? Either it has to travel to its destination, or it isn't getting back.

This putz has handed down a bunch of Leftist rulings, this is nothing new.
A troublesome wart on the ass of jurisprudence.

So much for an executive branch,  not to mention separation of powers.
Maybe these criminals should be dropped off at the judge's house.

You know what else was written in the 18th century? The U.S. Constitution - which I assume AP writers believe is as unimportant as the Alien Enemies Act.

Excerpt:
A federal judge tried to slam the brakes on President Donald Trump’s deportation juggernaut, but El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele just delivered a knockout punch that’s got Trump supporters cheering—and the left reeling. On Saturday, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, an Obama appointee, blocked Trump from using the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang members without hearings, ordering any flights carrying them back to the U.S., per the New York Post and Washington Post. The ruling came after civil rights groups challenged Trump’s late-night order to expedite removals, with Boasberg claiming “flights are actively departing” and demanding an immediate halt. Trump, expanding the order nationwide, is expected to appeal, as this activist judge’s move screams deep-state resistance.




Lmao, Nayib trolling corrupt judges just made my day.

It’s embarrassing when foreign leaders show more common sense about U.S. security than our own judges.

Was the law Trump is using ever revoked? If not I don’t see what the problem is, these people are illegal aliens, committing terrorist acts among the run of the mill murders, mayhem, rapes, slavery, and drug dealing. They seem to be exactly the type envisioned by those who created the law.

There is no problem other than a bunch of pissant district court judges who think they are kings.

Activist Nation: Judge Orders Plane Carrying Gangsters Kicked Out by Trump to Turn Around

Tren de Aragua gang members terrorize Aurora, CO. (Credit: Public domain/Wikimedia Commons)
If you’ve been feeling lately like activist judges have decided that they run the country—and not the president—you are not alone. Leftist jurists seem to be stepping in at every turn to thwart Donald Trump’s agenda and block his orders.

As RedState’s Ward Clark reported Saturday, the president invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 against the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua which has been terrorizing cities across the country—and then the administration sent at least one planeload of members of the “Foreign Terrorist Organization” back to their country of origin.

It didn’t take long for Obama appointed Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg to kneecap the effort. Not only did he issue a temporary restraining order preventing the deportation of any Venezuelans, but he also ordered that the plane (or planes; it’s unclear) return the gangsters to the U.S.

The actions against the president began even before he signed the order. Mind-boggling:

Now that the administration has refused to follow the order of a federal "judge" the question is what happens going forward. The SCOTUS better get their district court "judges" under control or they are going to quickly find out that the administration isn't going to respond to any of their orders.

[240B]

OK
you have your "ruling".
How will you enforce it?

90%

If the SCOTUS doesn't intervene pretty soon and get the district judges under control the Executive Branch will just ignore them. Rubio already made it clear that he was not going to comply with a district "judge's" order when he sent the plane load of gangsters to El Salvador.

I imagine the next step is for Pres. Trump to issue and executive order to all cabinet dept. heads instructing them to ignore district court "judge's" orders unless otherwise instructed by the Attorney General.

Roberts should have listened to Alito!

[Free Vulcan]

Ignore and appeal, simple as that.

[bilo]

Ignore and appeal, simple as that.

We are quickly approaching the point where all district court "judges" will be ignored and appealed.

[Free Vulcan]

These judges are outside their authority and jurisdiction, not to mention making rulings that are not based on law or legal principle, just vague proclamations of things like 'irreparable harm'.

It's time for the Admin to ignore them, appeal, and force SCOTUS to rule one way or another.

US deports hundreds of Venezuelans despite court order

Planes carrying more than 200 Venezuelans deported by the US have landed in El Salvador, hours after a US judge ordered the Trump administration not to do so.

El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele, wrote on social media that 238 members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had arrived, along with 23 members of the international MS-13 gang, on Sunday morning.

Their arrival in the central American nation came after a federal judge blocked US President Donald Trump from invoking a centuries-old wartime law to justify the deportations - something Bukele made fun of in a later post.

"Oopsie... Too late," he said.

The move by the US to send alleged criminals from other countries to El Salvador was an arrangement US Secretary of State Marco Rubio previously called "the most unprecedented and extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world".

Bukele wrote that the detainees were immediately transferred to El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center (Cecot) "for a period of one year", something that was "renewable" - suggesting they could be held there for longer.

"The United States will pay a very low fee for them, but a high one for us," he added.

Rubio confirmed the alleged gang members arrival in El Salvador and thanked Bukele, calling him "the strongest security leader in our region".

Hours before, on Saturday evening, US District Judge James Boasberg ordered a halt to deportations covered by Trump's proclamation, which invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.............

I say have this judge investigated for connections with the cartels and gangs.  No judge in his right mind would do this.  And any judge that does should be remove from office.

According to this report, they defied the judge's orders.

Not revoked, not found to be unconstitutional. What idiocy to believe that just because a law is old, it's irrelevant.
