Summary
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg warned of “consequences” after the DOJ resisted his request for details on deportation flights conducted under Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act.
The government argued that providing details would expose sensitive foreign negotiations and asked for a delay. Boasberg, frustrated by the pushback, extended the deadline but questioned the secrecy claim, noting officials had already disclosed details publicly.
The administration insists the court lacks jurisdiction, while Boasberg ordered the DOJ to comply or formally invoke the state-secrets doctrine.
Maybe, possibly, some day. Shit or get off the pot. Stop threatening consequences and actually do something for once.
Courts are infuriatingly slow. It’s not like on TV where a judge will threaten to jail somebody for contempt at the drop off a hat.
People have been saying that about Trump’s ostensibly incoming justice for almost a decade.
We are way past the point of being able to explain this as a slow justice system; we don’t have a justice system.
So slow, a man awaiting conviction for multiple felonies can successfully run for president
This reminds me of Trump’s trial where he was threatened like 5 times with contempt, for outbursts in the courtroom. They never actually held him in contempt.
I think a lot of his not getting held to account is because of an idea about upholding the sanctity of the presidency, which isn’t even law. Shame they couldn’t uphold the sanctity of human rights and the rule of law.
Which is ridiculous because what really undermines the sanctity of the presidency is allowing the president to get away with such crimes
