A US federal judge, James E. Boasberg, has issued a stern warning to the Trump administration for failing to comply with his orders regarding the deportation of individuals to El Salvador. Judge Boasberg expressed his intention to hold the administration in contempt, citing “probable cause” for criminal contempt and emphasizing the need for compliance with his directives. He specified that the administration could rectify the situation by repatriating those individuals who were deported in violation of his order back to the US, allowing them to challenge their removal. The judge underscored the importance of upholding judicial orders and condemned any deliberate defiance, particularly by officials who have sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution.
In the event that the Justice Department declines to prosecute the matter, Judge Boasberg stated his readiness to appoint another attorney to handle the contempt case.
