Judge Boasberg Smacked Down In Huge Win For Trump

Federal Judge James Boasberg has been overruled by his colleagues, delivering a huge win to President Donald Trump and his mission of mass deportations.

From the start of his second term, Trump and his top immigration advisors justified their speedy deportations of illegal immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, an arcane law that has only been applied during times of war.

On March 15, Boasberg, a Washington, D.C. District Court judge, halted some of the administration’s first flights to El Salvador, concluding suspected illegal immigrants had been denied due process. He later found the administration in criminal contempt for disobeying his order.

But a divided federal appeals court overturned that ruling by a 2-1 vote on Friday when it paused Boasberg’s contempt finding as it seeks more time to review the case. An unsigned opinion released by Judges Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao, both Trump appointees, granted a request by the U.S. Justice Department to toss out Boasberg’s ruling.

Judge Cornelia Pillard, an Obama appointee, dissented.

The original disagreement between Boasberg and Trump officials stems from the ambiguity of his initial oral order to turn planes around that were bound for El Salvador. Authorities replied that the planes carrying dozens of migrants were out of U.S. airspace by the time they received word of the decision.

In response, Boasberg accused the government of demonstrating “willful disregard” of his order.

Appeals court tosses judge's contempt order in case over Venezuelans sent to El Salvador

Washington — A divided federal appeals court on Friday granted the Trump administration's request to set aside a district judge's decision finding probable cause that some federal officials committed criminal contempt by violating an order to turn around planes carrying Venezuelan migrants bound for El Salvador.

The 2-1 decision from a panel of judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is a massive victory for the Trump administration, which has lambasted U.S. District Judge James Boasberg for overstepping his authority when he initiated criminal contempt proceedings in April.

The D.C. Circuit had issued a temporary pause of Boasberg's decision while it took more time to consider the issue. In an unsigned opinion issued Friday, Judges Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao, both appointed by President Trump in his first term, granted a request from the Justice Department to toss out Boasberg's contempt order. Judge Cornelia Pillard, an Obama appointee, dissented.

Did you know Judge Boasberg protected Ray Epps?
He gave Ray probation while locking everyone else up.
That is why it is important for Americans to once and for all know if Ray Epps was a federal asset on Jan 6th.
(Hint: he was)
It would unravel the entire operation.
