Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann criticized the Trump administration following the deportation of over 250 migrants, asserting the legality of U.S. District Judge James Boasberg's order to halt deportations. Despite this, the government proceeded with the deportations, which Weissmann argued shows a disregard for due process. He expressed concern over the White House press secretary's statements that undermined the judge’s authority, calling this a potential constitutional crisis. Weissmann emphasized that the executive branch should respect judicial decisions, especially concerning migrants with constitutional rights.
I'm more concerned by the statements coming from the press secretary saying no judge can do this. I'm sorry, who on God's green Earth is she to say that?
Weissmann slammed the Trump administration over the lack of due process before the deportations, stating that as a former criminal defendant, the president should respect it.
It's those comments that are leading to that constitutional crisis. That is from the Attorney General of the United States.
A single judge in a single city cannot direct the movements of an aircraft carrying foreign alien terrorists who were physically expelled from U.S. soil.
