During a White House press briefing, NBC News Senior White House Correspondent Garrett Haake challenged Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's assertion that Judge James Boasberg was blocking President Trump's immigration agenda as a 'Democrat activist'. Haake fact-checked her by noting that Boasberg was appointed by a Republican president and later elevated by Barack Obama. Leavitt's defense framed the judge's ruling as an unjust overreach against presidential authority under the Alien Enemies Act, insisting that the administration would continue its deportation efforts despite ongoing legal disputes.
You said the mass deportation campaign would continue, but she asked about the flights specifically. Will those flights to El Salvador continue while this case is being appealed? GARRETT HAAKE: You said the mass deportation campaign would continue, but she asked about the flights specifically.
...the judge in this case is essentially trying to say that the president doesn't have the executive authority to deport foreign terrorists from our American soil. That is an egregious abuse of the bench.
This judge, Judge Boesberg, is a Democrat activist. He was appointed by Barack Obama. His wife has donated more than $10,000 to Democrats, and he has consistently shown his disdain for the president.
That's why we're fighting this in court. And it's very, very clear that this is an activist judge who is trying to usurp the president's authority.
