What happens next after judge warns of possible contempt prosecution over deportation flights order

  • Judge Boasberg considered holding the Trump administration in contempt for violating orders regarding deportations to El Salvador.
  • Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act, claiming a Venezuelan gang invasion to justify deportations.
  • Despite a judge's order to return planes to the U.S., deportees arrived in El Salvador, housed in a notorious prison.
  • Boasberg stated the government actions betrayed a desire to evade the Judiciary's reach; the judge quoted, "The aircraft needed to be returned to the United States."
  • Boasberg may appoint a special attorney for prosecution if the Justice Department declines contempt charges, escalating executive-judicial tensions.
