Appeals Court Denies Full Review of Contempt Case Against Trump Admin over El Salvador Deportations
Judge Boasberg may investigate if Trump officials violated court orders by deporting hundreds of alleged gang members under the Alien Enemies Act in March.
- On Friday, a federal appeals court denied a request to fully reconsider an order limiting a contempt probe, allowing Judge James Boasberg to seek evidence on why a plane bound for El Salvador was not turned back.
- Earlier this year the Trump administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act to deport two planeloads of alleged migrant gang members to the Terrorism Confinement Center , Tecoluca, San Vicente, El Salvador.
- A whistleblower alleged the administration planned to defy Boasberg’s order, prompting Boasberg to seek contempt proceedings as a three-judge majority called his response measured.
- The ruling noted the district court can set new deadlines or proceed in its discretion in the court's contempt inquiry and stressed grave rule-of-law concerns, while the government may raise defenses.
- ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt said the ruling will allow the group to proceed before Boasberg, and that new context could inform how Boasberg proceeds at the Wednesday status hearing.
