Judge Considers Contempt Charges Over Trump Administration Deportation Flights

Judge James Boasberg suggests the Trump administration may have violated his court order by rushing deportation flights of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act.

Judge Boasberg is deliberating on whether to hold Trump officials in contempt for allegedly defying his March 15 order to halt deportation flights to El Salvador.
The administration argues that the flights were already in international airspace when the order was issued and claims compliance with a later written order.
Boasberg expressed skepticism, suggesting the government may have acted in 'bad faith' by accelerating deportations to avoid court intervention.
The administration has invoked state secrets privilege to withhold details about the flights, a move Boasberg described as 'sketchy,' especially for unclassified information.
The Supreme Court is reviewing the administration's appeal to overturn Boasberg's restraining order, which has been extended until April 12.
