Summary

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg warned of “consequences” after the DOJ resisted his request for details on deportation flights conducted under Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act.

The government argued that providing details would expose sensitive foreign negotiations and asked for a delay. Boasberg, frustrated by the pushback, extended the deadline but questioned the secrecy claim, noting officials had already disclosed details publicly.

The administration insists the court lacks jurisdiction, while Boasberg ordered the DOJ to comply or formally invoke the state-secrets doctrine.

    Maybe, possibly, some day. Shit or get off the pot. Stop threatening consequences and actually do something for once.

      Courts are infuriatingly slow. It’s not like on TV where a judge will threaten to jail somebody for contempt at the drop off a hat.

        People have been saying that about Trump’s ostensibly incoming justice for almost a decade.

        We are way past the point of being able to explain this as a slow justice system; we don’t have a justice system.

      This reminds me of Trump’s trial where he was threatened like 5 times with contempt, for outbursts in the courtroom. They never actually held him in contempt.

    government immediately appealed the ruling, and said in a filing Tuesday that the judge’s order lacked proper jurisdiction “because the presidential actions they challenge are not subject to judicial review.”

    i mean don’t these judges know how fascism works?

    possible consequences”. So maybe, a slap on the wrist … or more likely, a severe gazing … or even more likely, this warning alone.
    We are so fed up of all this corruption and apathy.

    I wonder who is going to deliver these consequences? Trump owns all the power. This has always been the weakness of our system. Courts mean nothing unless their decisions are enforced.
