US District Judge James Boasberg, an Obama appointee, just HALTED deportations after Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act.
He also reportedly ordered planes that were already in the air deporting illegals, to turn back to the U.S.

Judicial tyranny is the real threat to our Constitutional Republic.
I'm sorry, but this absolutely lawless order to TURN AROUND PLANES OF TERRORISTS is so insane that I'm having trouble comprehending what Boasberg is possibly thinking. Trump can not possibly agree to this.

🚨
The President of the United States correctly designated Tren de Aragua (TdA), a vicious Venezuelan gang, as a foreign-terrorist organization.
The President correctly put these terrorists on planes to get them the hell out of our country.
Yet DC Obama Judge James Boasberg…

This is the same Judge Boasberg who sat as presiding judge on the FISA court. The same Judge Boasberg who gave FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith a slap on the wrist for manufacturing evidence used in the Carter Page FISA application that defrauded the court.

The President correctly put these terrorists on planes to get them the hell out of our country.
Yet DC Obama Judge James Boasberg thinks he has the power to order the President to turn around the planes in mid-air and bring back these terrorists into America.
This is the most dangerous constitutional crisis imaginable.
I do not say this lightly:
The President has a constitutional duty, as the chief executive officer and commander-in-chief, to ignore Judge Boasberg’s lawless and dangerous order.
The Supreme Court must use the emergency docket to immediately stay Judge Boasberg’s order.

Next week, the House must impeach Judge Boasberg.
And defund his court.
Fed judge orders deportation flights carrying alleged Venezuelan gangbangers to return to US, blocks Trump from invoking Alien Enemies Act
By Anna Young, NY Post, March 15, 2025:
A federal judge temporarily blocked President Trump on Saturday from invoking the 18th century Alien Enemies Act to swiftly deport alleged Venezuelan gang members without a hearing – ordering any flights carrying the supposed criminals to turn around.
US District judge James Boasberg quickly ordered the Trump administration to halt all removals after the commander in chief signed off on a presidential action invoking the 1798 law – aimed at targeting Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua, The Washington Post reported.
The chief judge in the District of Columbia said he heard that “flights are actively departing” and directed US officials to have planes in the air carrying migrants returned to the United States, the outlet reported.

James Boasberg ordered the planes to return to the United States late Saturday night. Bloomberg via Getty Images“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 reportedly wrote.
“Make sure it’s complied with immediately.”
The temporary ruling will put a 14-day restraining order on use of the wartime act, which the Trump administration hopes to use to deport any migrant it identifies as a gang member without following normal criminal and immigration channels.
A new hearing has been scheduled for Friday as a pause will be put in place for those deported under the Alien Enemies Act.
“I do not believe I can wait any longer and am required to act,” Boasber said during a hearing Saturday night.

The Trump administration has been ramping up deportation flights. JEFFREY ARGUEDAS/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock“A brief delay in their removal does not cause the government any harm,” he said, noting that the detainees will remain in government custody.
Boasberg’s ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and Democracy Forward challenging the removal of five Venezuelan men under the centuries-old law — which was reportedly signed on Friday.
Before the early evening ruling blocking the use of the act, an emergency hearing was held Saturday morning. At it the judge barred the removal of the five migrants named in the legal challenge, which Trump’s administration has already appealed.
[…]Trump’s proclamation’s language, however, contends the gang is effectively at war with the United States and Venezuelan nationals are now “liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed as Alien Enemies.”
“Over the years, Venezuelan national and local authorities have ceded ever-greater control over their territories to transnational criminal organizations, including TdA,” Trump’s statement reads.
“The result is a hybrid criminal state that is perpetrating an invasion of a predatory incursion into the United States, and which poses a substantial danger to the United States.”
