Update (1220ET): In response to judge James Boasberg’s move to halt the Trump administration’s deportation of alleged gang members, Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) says he’s filing articles of impeachment against the judge. 

“I’ll be filing Articles of Impeachment against activist judge James Boasberg this week,” Gill posted on X.

In response to Boasberg’s order (read all about it below), Attorney General Pam Bondi made an emergency filing with the DC Circuit Court to pause the order, asking the court to “halt this massive, unauthorized imposition on the Executive’s authority to remove people that Defendants had determined to be members of TdA (Tren de Aragua).

Maybe the Trump administration should just take AOC’s advice to ignore the court?

Oopsie… Too Late

Boasberg’s order was issued while a plane full of Venezuelan prisoners was headed to El Salvador – eventually landing in the country…

“Today, the first 238 members of the Venezuelan criminal organization, Tren de Aragua, arrived in our country. They were immediately transferred to CECOT, the Terrorism Confinement Center, for a period of one year (renewable),” said President Nayib Bukele on X. “On this occasion, the U.S. has also sent us 23 MS-13 members wanted by Salvadoran justice, including two ringleaders. One of them is a member of the criminal organization’s highest structure.”

A federal judge who’s been a critical ally to the deep state has preemptively blocked the Trump administration from deporting five Venezuelan nationals under the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) of 1978.

US District Judge James Boasberg (more on that below) issued his preemptive ruling a few hours after the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a motion on the Venezuelans’ behalf against Trump’s reported plan to invoke the AEA to accelerate the removal of illegals from the US.

The ACLU asked Boasberg to block the use of the law, though Trump has yet to invoke it. Boasberg, of course, complied, granting a restraining order Saturday morning that prevents the administration from removing the five Venezuelan nationals for two weeks so the judge can hold a hearing on their challenge.

In their filing, the ACLU, alongside Democracy Forward and the ACLU of the District of Columbia, stated that the government has moved the Venezuelans – alleged members of Tren De Aragua, to a facility in Texas, which they state are being used “as staging facilities to remove Venezuelan men under the AEA.”

Of note, the Trump administration officially declared Tren de Aragua a terrorist organization last month.
