Obama-appointed Judge James Boasberg exceeded his authority when he threatened the Trump administration with criminal contempt, an appeals court found on Friday.
In a 2-1 decision, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the Trump administration, tossing Boasbergโs order finding probable cause for contempt over the administrationโs decision not to turn planes around.
Boasberg claimed administration officials violated a March 15 temporary restraining order (TRO) directing them not to remove alleged members of a foreign gang to El Salvador by sending out planes that same day. He initiated contempt proceedings even after the Supreme Court tossed his initial TRO in a 5-4 ruling in April.
