Trump Defies Court Order in Deportation Case, Escalating Tensions Over Executive Power

The administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants and calls for a judge's impeachment have raised constitutional concerns.

• President Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport Venezuelan migrants alleged to be gang members, bypassing standard legal processes.
• U.S. District Judge James Boasberg issued an order halting the deportations, but the administration allowed the flights to proceed, citing jurisdictional arguments.
• Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts publicly rebuked Trump's call for Boasberg's impeachment, emphasizing judicial independence and the appellate process.
• The Justice Department has resisted providing flight details to the court, citing national security, as legal debates over executive authority intensify.
• The case highlights broader concerns about the balance of power between the executive and judicial branches, with potential constitutional implications.
