The Trump administration is refusing to back down after far-left DC District Judge James Boasberg, an Obama appointee, blocked the deportation of dangerous Venezuelan gang members, handing a lifeline to criminals instead of protecting American citizens.
Boasberg ordered an immediate halt on deportation flights of Tren de Aragua (TDA) gang members, who were being removed under the Alien Enemies Act (1798)—a wartime law explicitly designed to protect Americans from foreign threats.
Even more outrageous, the judge went so far as to demand that planes already in the air turn around and bring these violent criminals back into the United States.
“Any plane containing these folks that is going to take off or is in the air needs to be returned to the United States however that is accomplished,” Boasberg declared, as reported by Politico. “Make sure it’s complied with immediately.”
Boasberg, who serves as Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., appears to believe he has the authority to override the President of the United States and dictate immigration policy from the bench.
Despite Boasberg’s radical ruling, the Trump administration refused to comply with the unconstitutional order.
