These judges are partisan political actors. They would never have treated the Biden administration similarly.

They went from rubber stamping everything DOJ wanted to acting as DOJ's biggest critic.

Just posted this one: "Top 20 Times Democrat Activist Judge Boasberg Overruled America".

I have two recommendations at the end, including stripping Boasberg of his security clearances given his conflicts of interest and his oversight of FISA abuse.

I see Boasberg was involved with FISA while Comey and McCabe were lying on applications. It's no wonder the FISA courts weren't all that concerned. The fix was in on all sides. Despite Judge Roberts opinion I think Boasberg should be impeached!

So what if Boastturd puts Trump in contempt? What is he going to do, send a marshall to the White House and have him arrested? Trump needs to keep sending them out of the country and ignore this bozo. Next time he demands a hearing the DoJ should just skip it with a simple response, "you have no jurisdiction here, so go piss off."

I am very curious to see how this unfolds. He is still demanding details on the flights and wants new DOJ filings on Tuesday.

His ridiculous 24 hour delay due to the DOJ use of the official secrets act is just another delay, impede, and try to stop the President Trump agenda he was elected to implement. And look at the NGO his daughter works for - these people are dirty and need to be held to account.

Boasberg's attitude during the hearing yesterday was totally inappropriate. He called DOJ responses to his orders "intemperate" and "disrespectful." He is so used to being treated like a king by DOJ prosecutors he cannot handle a little pushback.

Congress needs to defund the DC District Court and get Bozo-berg to shut the hell up.

The former head of the ACLU was on Bill Maher's show, a year or two ago, and described how it has been taken over by activist and no longer represents what its original mission was, protecting civil liberties. Julie thank you for keeping all of us in the loop.

Thank you! And yes it was evident during the Jan 6 prosecution when the ACLU was silent in the face of clear political persecution including solitary confinement.

We should get a good sense of where this is headed during oral arguments on the appeal set for Monday afternoon.

Need some clarification. What is the “authority” of a district judge. I naively thought it was restricted to his assigned district.

Also how did the ACLU have a suit ready before Trumps order was even given? Is there a leak in the Whitehouse?

I think the president has mentioned this before so they had defendants ready to go.

There must have been a leak. His discussions with Bukele. Who was privy to them?

This activists democrat judge is totally ignoring 77 million Americans who voted for this. This judge has no power to issue such a ridiculous order, President Trump is in charge of the executive branch not an unelected biased judge. This is beyond pathetic, who is responsible for the 94 cases brought forth to this administration? These anti American people are doing everything they can to keep Trump for implementing his agenda.

Almost like an insurrection! Which is so ironic--seeing these same judges who claimed a four hour protest on Jan 6 was an attempt to overthrow democracy and overturn the results of the election. Now who is doing exactly that?

Thanks Julie - as always, first rate reporting. We can only hope the Roberts Court takes up these matters quickly. There is clearly a coordinated effort to hinder the Trump administration from fulfilling "promises made". This could turn into a lengthy game of whack-a-mole unless the high court steps in to derail these challenges to the executive.

My guess is the appellate court will soon put a hold (stay) Boasberg's TRO as it considers the administration's appeal. We will get a better idea of where this is headed after oral arguments on Monday afternoon.

It is entirely possible that the FBI and ICE were able to locate and arrest TdA members with secret help from Argentina. And those methods and communications might compromise nationals security if disclosed. Another reason federal district court judges have no role under Article II.

Daniel, I think the DOJ and White House will continue to fight Boasberg on getting any more details about the flights. It appears they are prepared to invoke the state secrets privilege in order to keep that info out of the dangerous hands of Jeb Boasberg.

I’m having chest pains over these judges who are interfering in our Presidents actions. We the people voted for him. He is merely carrying out our wishes. What lunatic, mentally incompetent judgeBosberg would want ILLEGAL ALIENS who are CRIMINALS returned to our country.

My Uber driver in Florida is from Paraguay. He loves talking US politics and loves Trump. He said the judges do not understand how dangerous TdA is, how the group is taking over parts of South America. These are vicious animals who do not deserve the privilege of being in America.

If Boasberg issues criminal contempt citations, Trump should pardon everyone sanctioned. Let Democrats complain about pardons.

We need new GITMO's. I'm thinking in the western Alaskan Islands, complete with drone policing. Then Boasberg and his ilk can hold court there.

My idea for a prison is in the same general neighborhood. Trump should ask Putin to host our traitors to the republic in a Siberian gulag.

Both the feds and The States waste an OBSCENE amount of our taxes on hundreds of privately-run holiday camps aka 'prisons'. Thankfully I live in Tennessee where we don't offer tranny transitioning as a public service. We have truly gone mad.
