in World News Judge Boasberg Grants 24-Hour Stay in Alien Enemies Act Case, But Blasts Trump Admin in Latest Court Order
Judge James Boasberg granted a 24 hour stay in the Enemies Alien Act case, but he made sure to blast the Trump Administration in his latest court order.
President Trump’s DOJ earlier Tuesday accused Judge Boasberg of being engaged in “picayune dispute over micromanagement of immaterial factfinding” for asking whether the government defied his previous order related to ordering planes en route to Central America deporting dangerous Venezuelan aliens to turn around.
“What began as a dispute between litigants over the President’s authority to protect the national security and manage the foreign relations of the United States pursuant to both a longstanding Congressional authorization and the President’s core constitutional authorities has devolved into a picayune dispute over the micromanagement of immaterial factfinding. In a series of orders this Court has requested the Government to provide it details about the movements of aircraft outside of the United States and interactions with foreign nations which have no bearing on any legal issue at stake in the case,” the DOJ wrote.
There is currently a showdown between the DOJ and Boasberg after he demanded national security details from President Trump on the routes and times of his flights of violent illegal aliens to El Salvador.
The Justice Department on Tuesday once again refused to give Judge James Boasberg sensitive information in a case against Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act.
