Where politics, impeachment, and jurisdiction collide.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has weighed in on a temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by a federal judge, requiring the Trump administration to halt deportations carried out under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. US District Court Judge James Boasberg issued the 14-day TRO on Saturday evening, March 15. Two planes carrying illegal aliens associated with Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang, had already departed the United States. Boasberg ordered the planes to be routed back to their point of departure, but that didn’t happen. Essentially, the order was ignored. On March 17, the DOJ said in a court filing that Boasberg “lacks jurisdiction because the presidential actions they challenge are not subject to judicial review.”
