Judge vows to investigate if Trump officials defied deportation orders
A federal judge vowed to determine if Trump administration officials disobeyed a court order halting deportations under an 18th century wartime law. “I will get to the bottom of whether they violated my order, who ordered this, and what the consequences will be,” District Judge James Boasberg said during a court hearing today.
The Trump administration last week appeared to have violated Boasberg’s previous orders in a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador without due process.
