U.S. District Judge James Boasberg issued an emergency order on March 15, 2024, blocking the Trump administration from deporting members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA), shortly after President Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to remove individuals deemed a national security threat.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi condemned Boasberg's ruling, accusing him of prioritizing TdA members over American safety and disregarding Trump's executive authority, which she argued endangers the public and law enforcement.
Boasberg has been accused of bias against the Trump administration, with critics citing his harsh sentencing of nonviolent Jan. 6 defendants and his role in delaying the sentencing of Kevin Clinesmith, who pleaded guilty in the Trump-Russia investigation.
Investigative reporters and critics have highlighted Boasberg's alleged alignment with the Deep State, including his involvement in the FISA Court and his appointment of Obama-era official David Kris to review FBI reforms, raising concerns about his impartiality.
Boasberg's actions are seen as part of a broader pattern of Obama-appointed judges undermining Trump’s agenda, with his rulings on immigration, January 6 cases and FISA-related matters fueling ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and the judiciary.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg of the District Court for the District of Columbia, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama, is undermining the second administration of President Donald Trump. Over the weekend, Boasberg issued an emergency order blocking the administration from deporting members of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA). The order issued Saturday, March 15, came less than two hours after Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 (AEA) to remove individuals deemed a "significant threat" to national security. During the Saturday hearing, Boasberg ordered the Trump administration to immediately turn around planes carrying deportees. "This is something that you need to make sure is complied with immediately," the magistrate stressed. But U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi slammed the ruling, pointing out that the federal judge "supported TdA terrorists over the safety of Americans." She added that the order "disregards well-established authority regarding Trump's power and puts the public and law enforcement at risk."

Boasberg's latest ruling is just one example of his apparent bias against the second Trump administration. Both Jim Hoft of the Gateway Pundit and investigative reporter Julie Kelly highlighted instances of the magistrate's alliance with the Deep State. As a judge overseeing Jan. 6 cases, Boasberg has been accused of meting out harsh sentences to defendants, often using the controversial 1512(c)2 obstruction statute – a charge later overturned by the Supreme Court. Kelly highlighted Boasberg's role in sentencing nonviolent J6 defendants to prison, including 60-year-old Sandra Weyer (who received 14 months for the petty offense of "parading" in the Capitol) and former New York City Police Department officer Sara Carpenter, who was sentenced to 22 months. "Boasberg with gusto threw the book at Americans exercising their [First Amendment] rights on Jan. 6, then denied J6ers other constitutional rights to ensure convictions and imprisonment," Kelly wrote. "But now he's going to bat for illegals suspected of ties to a dangerous foreign gang." Boasberg's history of targeting Trump extends beyond his handling of immigration and J6 cases. As a member of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA Court), Boasberg appointed David Kris, an Obama-era national security official, to review FBI reforms to the FISA application process. This move raised concerns given the Obama administration’s misuse of FISA warrants to spy on Trump during the 2016 election. Additionally, Boasberg delayed the sentencing of Kevin Clinesmith, the only individual to plead guilty in the Trump-Russia investigation. Despite the gravity of his crimes, the federal judge ultimately let Clinesmith off with probation after the 2020 election. Critics argue that Boasberg's actions are emblematic of a broader effort by Obama-appointed judges to undermine Trump’s presidency. His recent ruling on the Alien Enemies Act, coupled with his harsh treatment of J6 defendants and his role in the FISA Court, paints a picture of a judge deeply entrenched in the Deep State’s efforts to resist Trump’s agenda. As the Trump administration continues to push back against judicial overreach, Boasberg's latest decision serves as a stark reminder of the challenges facing the president in his second term. With the safety of Americans at stake, the battle between Trump and the Deep State shows no signs of abating.
