A federal hearing is scheduled to assess Judge James E. Boasberg's recent decision to halt the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan immigrants via the Alien Enemies Act. This statute allows for the deportation of individuals from hostile nations, but Judge Boasberg questioned whether the president's use of this power was overextending legal limits. The Justice Department has been criticized for not complying with the judge's requests for information regarding deportation flights, leading to tensions over government transparency and authority in immigration policy.
The hearing has been set for Friday afternoon to debate whether a federal judge in Washington acted correctly when he temporarily stopped the Trump administration from summarily deporting Venezuelan immigrants under a wartime statute.
Judge James E. Boasberg scolded the Justice Department for its repeated refusals to provide information about two deportation flights that were in question.
