A legal analysis of the political agenda adopted by James Boasberg, the anti-Trump judge working in the courts system in Washington, D.C., reveals how he abandoned his role as a “judge” and made himself “like a foreign diplomat” by “attempting to influence how the Trump administration conducted foreign affairs.”
That’s according to an appeals court judge whose comments were cited by Thomas Jipping, senior legal fellow in the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at the Heritage Foundation, and John Osorio, a research associate, online.
The fight is over President Donald Trump’s agenda to secure American borders and remove illegal alien criminals invited in by the open borders policies of Joe Biden during his years in the White House.
Boasberg has fought Trump’s agenda, even to the point of trying to enforce his own order that the U.S. Supreme Court overturned.
He was the judge who even tried to order Trump to tell airplanes carrying illegal alien criminals, that already had left American airspace, to return to the U.S. with the criminals.
The analysis notes Trump is backed by the Constitution, which gives him authority over matters involving international relations, the Alien Enemies Act that allows the president to apprehend and remove the natives, citizens, or subjects of a hostile foreign government if that government attempts or threatens an ‘invasion or predatory incursion’ against the U.S. and the Immigration and Nationality Act that lets the secretary of state designate as Foreign Terrorist Organizations groups that engage in terrorist activity and threaten the safety of Americans or the United States.
The drama developed over recent months as State designated eight transnational gangs and cartels FTOs, including Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan prison gang, Trump then cited the AEA and TdA’s links to the “narco-terrorism” of regime chief Nicolas Maduro.
The administration took into custody dozens of TdA agents, with deportation plans to El Salvador.
Their lawyers went to Boasberg and called for him to protect their criminal clients.
On that day, “between 5:25 and 5:45 p.m., two flights with a total of 137 suspected TdA members left Texas, bound first for Honduras and then El Salvador. At 7:25 p.m., Boasberg certified a class of all individuals covered by the proclamation and issued a TRO prohibiting the government from ‘removing’ them for 14 days. On Mar. 28, he extended that order for another 14 days,” the analysis said.
The Supreme Court then vacated both of his orders, prompting Boasberg to launch contempt proceedings against the government because he claimed “removing” meant turning over custody to another government, which actually happened after his order and the planes landed.
“Boasberg’s shocking ultimatum to the executive branch was this: Return the deportees to U.S. soil or identify the officials who ordered the deportation so they could be prosecuted. He set a hard deadline of Apr. 23,” the analysis confirmed.
“But wait—hadn’t the Supreme Court already vacate Boasberg’s TRO? How can someone disobey an order that, in effect, Boasberg had no authority to issue?”
Soon the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit was ruling.
Judges Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao sided with the government.
Rao took the high road, to Boasberg’s low, warning he was intruding “upon the powers committed to the Executive Branch.”
“This case is highly unusual, and I have found no other like it, perhaps because no district court has threatened criminal contempt against Executive Branch officials as a backdoor to coercing compliance with an order that has been vacated by the Supreme Court,” she said.
Boasberg’s politics, she wrote, were “untenable” and described his order “coercive.”
WorldNetDaily has reported on Trump’s criticism of Boasberg.
On social media, he said, “People are shocked by what is going on with the Court System.”
“I was elected for many reasons, but a principal one was LAW AND ORDER, a big part of which is QUICKLY removing a vast Criminal Network of individuals, who came into our Country through the Crooked Joe Biden Open Borders Policy!
“These are dangerous and violent people, who kill, maim and, in many other ways, harm the people of our Country. The Voters want them OUT, and said so in Record Numbers.
“If it was up to District Judge Boasberg and other Radical Left Judges, nobody would be removed, the President wouldn’t be allowed to do his job, and people’s lives would be devastated all throughout our Country. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
He’s also called for Boasberg’s impeachment.
Trump also reposted a message by Mike Davis, the former chief counsel for nominations to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley and founder and president of the Article III Project, which defends constitutionalist judges and the rule of law.
Davis urged Trump: “Please revoke Judge Boasberg’s security clearance. He has demonstrated he cannot be trusted with keeping secrets.”
Davis also noted:
Here is the fatal flaw with DC Obama Judge Jeb Boasberg’s order:
Even if these designated foreign terrorists are entitled to individual court review before their deportation, which is disputed, the DC court is not the proper court.
Judge Boasberg did not, and does not, have the power to do what he is purporting to do. For this reason alone, everything he is doing is lawless. But it is much worse; it is also dangerous.
Judge Boasberg ran to his courtroom to hold a Saturday hearing, even though he was not even serving as the emergency judge that weekend. (How did he get this case?) He publicly exposed an ongoing U.S. military, intelligence, and law-enforcement operation with an American ally dealing with the most vicious terrorists (Tren de Aragua) and international gang member (MS13) in the Western Hemisphere.
That public exposure put American and allied lives in grave danger.
Stunningly, Judge Boasberg even ordered the President to turn around planes full of terrorists over the Gulf of America, without knowing the fuel levels, the security footprint back in America, or other crucial operational details.
Attorney General Pam Bondi explained the complaint over “misconduct” by Boasberg involved his “making improper public comments about President Trump and his administration.”
These comments have undermined the integrity of the judiciary, she confirmed.
Today at my direction, @TheJusticeDept filed a misconduct complaint against U.S. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg for making improper public comments about President Trump and his Administration.
These comments have undermined the integrity of the judiciary, and we will…

A DOJ official confirmed, “Judge Boasberg first tried to persuade Chief Justice Roberts and other federal judges that the Trump administration would not follow court orders, despite having no basis for his belief. Then he acted on his baseless belief again and again in litigation over which he was presiding. Judge Boasberg violated the Canons of the Code of Conduct for United States Judges, including the requirement that he ‘promote public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary.’”

The Washington Examiner said the official complaint, for “misconduct,” against Boasberg charged him with those “improper public comments” about the administration.
Boasberg has fought the administration’s agendas, including that for securing the borders and deporting illegal aliens, especially criminals, for months.
WND has reported it was the Federalist that obtained access to comments Boasberg made at a recent judicial conference undermining the president.
He disparaged the president, even though he’s required to be neutral on issues and people in his court, where Trump is a defendant in a number of cases brought by activists trying to undermine his agenda for America.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche later described Boasberg as a “threat to the rule of law” for using his own agendas in his court rulings to try to control the decisions of the Executive Branch.
Boasberg also was part and parcel of the Russiagate conspiracy theory, advancing permissions for the Barack Obama regime to spy on political opponents.
