BREAKING: Appeals Court Orders Boasberg to End His "Intrusive" Criminal Contempt Investigation of Trump Related to Alien Enemies...
The DC Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday voted 2-1 to end Judge James Boasberg's criminal contempt inquiry related to the Trump Administration's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act.
Wouldnāt be the first time an appeals court has ordered him to do something. And it wouldnāt be the first time heās ignored it. With absolutely no consequences
The DC Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday voted 2-1 to end Judge James Boasbergās criminal contempt inquiry related to the Trump Administrationās invocation of the Alien Enemies Act.
The three-judge panel ordered Boasberg to end his āintrusiveā contempt probe of the Trump Administration.
Judgeās Rao (Trump) and Walker (Trump) ordered Boasberg to end his inquiry.
Judge Childs (Biden) dissented.
Last March Boasberg granted a temporary restraining order (TRO) to stop the Trump administration from deporting thousands of Venezuelan nationals believed to be members of Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang under the Alien Enemies Act.
Boasberg then threatened to hold Trump officials in contempt for not bringing some of the worldās most vicious killers, criminals, and rapists back to the United States.
Judge Boasberg said he found probable cause to hold the Trump Administration in criminal contempt of court for defying his order to turn around planes carrying dangerous Venezuelan gang members.
In a 46-page opinion, Judge Boasberg said the Trump Administration showed willful defiance that amounts to criminal contempt.
In December Boasberg made it clear that he was not backing off from his planned contempt hearings and threatened to pierce through attorney-client privilege in his order denying the governmentās motion to reconsider.
Last year, a three-judge panel on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily halted Boasbergās contempt hearings.
Judges Rao (Trump), Walker (Trump) granted an administrative stay pending further order of the court.
Judge Childs (Biden) would have denied the motion for an administrative stay.
Boasberg recently took the next step toward ācontempt prosecutionā after he revived his criminal contempt inquiry against President Trump over Alien Enemies Act deportations.
so a panel of federal judges are ordering a federal judge to stop federal judging. if boresbirg persists, can he also be held in contempt? this should be entertaining....
If Trump were to bring them back he should dump them in the judge's neighborhood. Let's see what his wife, kids, neighbors think now.
