Overview
- The Supreme Court has yet to rule on the Trump administration's emergency appeal to lift a restraining order blocking deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, extended until April 12.
- Judge James Boasberg's restraining order, citing due process concerns, has sparked a constitutional debate over executive authority and judicial independence.
- Allegations that the administration defied the court order by continuing deportation flights are under investigation, with Judge Boasberg seeking clarity on who authorized the flights.
- Republican lawmakers are advancing proposals to limit judicial power, including restricting district judges' ability to issue nationwide injunctions, but Senate Republicans oppose calls for impeachment or defunding courts.
- President Trump continues to criticize Judge Boasberg and other judges, framing the issue as a national security concern, while Chief Justice John Roberts and Senate leaders emphasize the importance of judicial independence.
