The Justice Department didn’t hold back either. The next morning, DOJ attorneys blasted Boasberg’s order as an “egregious overreach” into executive power — a power the Constitution clearly assigns to the President.
But Boasberg was just getting started.
He hit back again Thursday, declaring that the DOJ’s response was “woefully insufficient.” According to the judge, the government submitted a brief six-paragraph declaration with mostly boilerplate information. He didn’t like that.
“In an ex parte pleading delivered shortly after today’s deadline, the Government again evaded its obligations. It submitted a six-paragraph declaration from the Acting Field Office Director for Enforcement and Removal Operations at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Harlingen, Texas, Field Office, the contents of which the Government has informed the Court may be disclosed. After four paragraphs of identifying information, he repeated the same general information about the flights…” Boasberg complained.
Now, in what many are calling an outrageous abuse of power, Boasberg has issued even more demands from the Trump team:
- A sworn declaration from someone directly involved in cabinet-level talks about invoking state secrets — due March 21st at 10 a.m.
- A formal notice on whether the government is invoking that privilege — due March 25th.
- A detailed explanation as to whether the administration violated any Temporary Restraining Orders — also due March 25th.
- A response from the plaintiffs — by March 31st.
Critics say this is no longer about law — it’s about control.
Boasberg even challenged the Trump team’s claim that state secrets would be compromised, citing the fact that Secretary of State Marco Rubio had already discussed the deportation flights publicly. That alone raised eyebrows, with many questioning why a judge is now citing political speeches to override national security discretion.
President Trump didn’t stay silent.
“Judge James Boasberg is doing everything in his power to usurp the Power of the Presidency. He is a local, unknown Judge, a Grandstander, looking for publicity, and it cannot be for any other reason, because his ‘Rulings’ are so ridiculous, and inept. SAVE AMERICA!” Trump said on Truth Social.
Just Released: Trump White House Collector’s Bobblehead!
Legal experts on the right warn that this case is quickly becoming a dangerous precedent. A judge demanding access to sensitive deportation flight details — under threat of contempt — while ignoring Executive Branch authority?
What’s next?
For many watching, it’s clear: this isn’t just a court battle. It’s a power struggle between a judge desperate to insert himself into immigration policy, and a president trying to keep the country safe.
Boasberg’s next move could either escalate this into a full-blown constitutional showdown — or prove once again that some judges care more about headlines than the rule of law.
As previously stated boasberg is nothing but a attorney who kissed the right butts. He is an uppity nobody, a legend in his own mind, he brings disgrace to to institution and brings public shame to the neutral third party status of the court. Zero evidence of scholarship, legal intelligence, common sense, linear thought process, This is all about him.
