President Donald Trump has criticized Chief Judge James Boasberg for blocking his plans to deport Venezuelan immigrants to El Salvador just before an appeals court hearing. Boasberg ruled that the immigrants must have a chance to challenge their gang affiliations. The Trump administration invoked an 18th-century wartime law to transfer immigrants to El Salvador, but Boasberg halted the deportations temporarily. The administration argued that the President’s actions were lawful under the Alien Enemies Act, which allows for the deportation of noncitizens without judicial review. Civil rights attorneys have expressed concern about the implications of the government’s position. Trump and some Republicans have called for impeaching Boasberg, but Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts stated that impeachment is not an appropriate response to judicial disagreement. The case highlights the ongoing legal battles over immigration policies and the balance of power between the executive and judicial branches of government.
