US District Court Judge James Boasberg is considering contempt proceedings against Trump administration officials for possibly disregarding his order that halted deportations using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. During a hearing, he questioned Deputy Assistant Attorney General Drew Ensign about the administration’s actions related to three deportation flights and suggested that the government’s claims of compliance were not credible. Boasberg noted the government did not provide a timeline for the flights and seemed critical of their decision-making process, raising concerns about acting in bad faith and the legality of their operations.
Boasberg expressed doubts about the administration's compliance with the court's order, criticizing their actions as potentially bad faith and indicating possible contempt proceedings.
During the hearing, Boasberg challenged the DOJ's belief that they complied with the order, suggesting the action was likely illegal and questioning the decision-makers.
