Appeals Court Delivers Huge Blow To Judge Boasberg In Fight Against Trump

A federal appeals court on Tuesday ordered U.S. District Judge James Boasberg to halt what it called an “intrusive” contempt probe into the Trump administration over deportation flights carrying Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador, handing the White House a major win in a high-stakes separation-of-powers brawl.

In a split decision, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said Boasberg “abused his discretion” by pressing forward with criminal contempt proceedings tied to March 2025 flights, after an earlier order directed the government to turn planes around.

“President Donald Trump’s administration has a ‘clear and indisputable’ right to the termination of the contempt proceedings,” Circuit Judge Neomi Rao wrote in the majority opinion.

Rao, a Trump appointee, sided against Boasberg, the chief judge of the federal district court in Washington, D.C., who was nominated by former President Barack Obama.

I wonder what John Roberts is thinking tonight, about his buddy Boasberg getting slapped down in such a brutally public way by the Appeals Court, which admitted that Boasberg was NOT acting in good faith at all.

Glad they went beyond just denying him from pursuing further and called it for what it was - an abuse of power, with the writ of mandamus for good measure.

The guy is no longer a judge but a political activist.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

BOOM: Boasberg’s Contempt Witch Hunt Explodes in His Face … Back-to-Back Mandamus Humiliation for the Rogue Judge

Quote:
Jeb Boasberg is now the Rory McIlroy of the D.C. Circuit Court—but the Obama appointee won’t receive a green jacket or a lifetime membership at Augusta National.

Instead, Boasberg, the chief judge of the D.C. district court, just earned another black mark on his ignominious judicial record as the winner of back-to-back writs of mandamus related to his 13-month crusade to hold the Trump administration in contempt of court.
 :silly:

In a 2-1 decision handed down on Tuesday, the D.C. appellate court issued its second writ of mandamus to once and for all shut down the contempt investigation that Boasberg opened in March 2025. For more than a year, Boasberg has claimed Trump officials willfully ignored his so-called “oral order” to return two planes carrying more than 100 illegal Venezuelans subject to the Alien Enemies Act, which had been enacted by President Trump on March 15. (My first piece on Boasberg’s contempt trap is here.)

A writ of mandamus “commands” another party—usually a government agency, official, or judge—to do something it’s not doing. Or in Boasberg’s situation, to stop doing something unconstitutional, unlawful, and in clear violation of previous court orders.

According to Supreme Court case law, a writ of mandamus is considered an “extraordinary remedy” because it allows a court to usurp the authority of another government entity. Statistics are hard to find but most studies indicate the success rate for those seeking a writ of mandamus against the federal government is very low.
