The Judge that President Trump wants to Impeach over Deportation Flights is named JAMES BOOASS

DOJ and the Tren de Aragua gang: After Trump’s order on immigration enforcement, lawyers said Monday in a court filing

In a court filing, lawyers for the Justice Department gave a declaration from Robert Cerna, an official at the US Immigration Customs and Enforcement field office in Texas.

The branches of government have been in a battle with the Trump administration over immigration enforcement, that threatens to plunge the nation into a constitutional crisis, in the last few days.

It came after the emergency order Saturday that told the administration to stop using their wartime powers to deport people who are part of the Tren de Aragua gang, and turn around any planes already in the air. Senior Justice Department officials in a filing on Sunday argued that the order came too late to stop the deportations, as planes were already outside U.S. territory.

The American Civil Liberties Union tried to stop the deportations of five Venezuelan men for 14 days, and then asked all people who could have been deported under Trump’s order to do the same.

According to government lawyers, some gang members were removed from United States territory by the time the judge’s order was issued on Saturday.

The Trump administration did not violate the court’s order because the first two flights had already left U.S. airspace, insisted DOJ lawyers at Monday’s hearing.

The groups wrote in Monday’s filing that they were very concerned that the government could have committed a violation of the court’s command. They said that the US government kept people in their custody until the planes landed, and that they were handed over to El Salvador if the plane was over international waters.

The Trump Administration is Fighting Against the Use of the Alien Enemies Act to Deport alleged Venezuelan Angels Over the Weekend

The judge was once appointed by Roberts to serve on the foreign intelligence surveille court, which reviews federal government applications to conduct foreign intelligence wiretaps in the US. He has long ties with conservatives and liberals alike, having shared a house with Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at Yale Law School.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A federal judge is pushing the Trump administration for more details about weekend flights that deported hundreds of alleged Venezuelan gang members, despite his order to turn the planes around.

The Trump-inspired furor is only the latest in many contretemps between the administration and federal district court judges who are presiding over lawsuits seeking to block the Trump administration’s actions.

“For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,” the court said in a statement from Roberts. The process of reviewing appeals exists for that reason.

Attorneys for the Justice Department didn’t answer questions from the judge about when deportation flights took off and who was on the planes.

But at the same time, Justice Department lawyers struck a defiant note, insisting that Boasberg had “no justification” to seek more information about two deportation flights that left the U.S. before his written order.

According to Cerna’s statement, there were three deportation flights that left the U.S. on Saturday for El Salvador, a day after Trump signed a proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act, a rarely used authority that gives the president power to detain or deport nationals of an enemy nation during wartime or invasion.

The Alien Enemies Act has only been used a few times to detain and deport enemy nationals in the U.S.

The statute says that it can only be used against a foreign government. Lee Gelernt, the lead attorney on the case, told NPR it has never been used against a gang in our country’s history.

In a court filing late Monday night, the Trump administration insisted it had good reason to believe that the men deported to El Salvador over the weekend are gang members.

“Agency personnel carefully vetted each individual alien to ensure they were in fact members of [Tren de Arugua,]” Cerna said in a declaration. “ICE did not simply rely on social media posts, photographs of the alien displaying gang-related hand gestures, or tattoos alone.”

Cerna also conceded that “many” of those Venezuelan men who are now being held in a supermax prison in El Salvador do not have criminal records in the U.S. “They only have been in the US for a short period of time,” she said.

According to Cerna’s declaration, the lack of criminal record does not mean they pose a limited threat. “The lack of specific information about each individual actually highlights the risk they pose. It demonstrates that they are terrorists with regard to whom we lack a complete profile.”

Trump Calls for the Impeachment of a Judge: Lawsuits against the Trump Administration in a Large and Diverse Expansion

The Trump administration revoked the security clearance for the law firm Perkins Coie, known for representing Hillary Clinton and other prominent Democrats. Without security clearances, the firm wouldn’t be able to represent clients effectively, which could hurt its business.

These are cases that concern the administration’s efforts to make life much more difficult for lawyers who bring cases against the administration, and news organizations that cover them.

A database maintained by New York University shows that 127 lawsuits have been filed against the administration since Trump took office. There are several cases in which the president’s powers include national security, the firing of tens of thousands of federal employees at the Pentagon and agencies created by congress that are supposed to be independent.

There are challenges that attempt to stop the administration from decimmming agencies and Cabinet departments.

Many cases contend that Musk, who was hired by the president as a special employee, might not be able to take actions that were not authorized by Congress. The Social Security Administration and the IRS are not the only agencies where DOGE has access to sensitive federal records.

The administration has also made an effort, so far unsuccessful, to ban automatic citizenship for some people born in the United States. This is a right pretty explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution for all people born or naturalized in the U.S.

Trump also ordered the detention and deportation of Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil for his role in the school’s student-led protests last spring. His family is Palestinian and he is a legal resident in the United States. Immigration officials sent a doctor from Lebanon back to her home country for supporting Hezbollah after Khalil was taken into custody.

The Paul Weiss law firm was cited by Trump as a factor in his executive order limiting the ability of federal contractors and the government to retain them.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has targeted 20 major law firms, including Perkins Coie, in an investigation into their DEI practices, though this investigation has not yet been challenged in court.

The Associated Press and the Trump White House: A First Step Towards Freedom in the Changing Gulf of Mexico Into the Gulf of America

The Associated Press was also barred from accessing the Oval Office or Air Force One for failing to change its style guide to comply with a Trump executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. After releasing a statement raising alarm bells that “the Trump administration would punish AP for its independent journalism,” the AP sued the administration to regain access.
