A federal judge criticized the Trump administration for ignoring his order to halt the deportation of Venezuelan gang suspects. Judge James Boasberg expressed frustration over the swift deportations, suggesting it was an attempt to quickly remove problematic individuals. The case has escalated into a constitutional clash between the executive and judiciary.
President Trump called for Boasberg’s impeachment, while Boasberg accused the administration of undermining his authority. Boasberg stressed that deportees must have a chance to challenge their removal, even in terrorism cases. Trump argued deporting criminals was necessary, and the Justice Department appealed Boasberg’s ruling, seeking his removal. The DOJ also criticized Judge Beryl Howell, accusing her of bias and requesting her recusal from a separate case
