US EditionJudge says he will move forward with contempt inquiry into AEA deportations
Judge Boasberg plans a criminal contempt inquiry into possible violations by Trump officials over deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, with hearings starting Dec. 1.
- On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said he will promptly resume a fact-finding criminal contempt inquiry into March deportations under the Alien Enemies Act by Trump administration officials.
- The background to the probe shows that the Trump administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act to deport two planeloads of alleged Tren de Aragua members to CECOT despite Boasberg's mid-March order to turn planes around, and his April probable-cause decision found grounds for criminal contempt.
- Boasberg signaled he may compel testimony and has asked the Justice Department and attorneys behind the Alien Enemies Act legal challenge to advise by Monday, including hearing from an ex-Justice Department lawyer .
- On Friday, the federal appeals court declined to reinstate Boasberg's order but cleared his fact-finding inquiry to continue after months on hold by an emergency stay, amid Republican calls for suspension and Chief Justice John Roberts urging appeals over removal.
- Those hearings could begin as soon as December 1, and Boasberg said `I am authorized to proceed just as I intended to do in April — seven months ago,` while Department of Justice attorneys argue the migrants' release weakens challengers' claims.
