Summary

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg warned of “consequences” after the DOJ resisted his request for details on deportation flights conducted under Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act.

The government argued that providing details would expose sensitive foreign negotiations and asked for a delay. Boasberg, frustrated by the pushback, extended the deadline but questioned the secrecy claim, noting officials had already disclosed details publicly.

The administration insists the court lacks jurisdiction, while Boasberg ordered the DOJ to comply or formally invoke the state-secrets doctrine.

    Maybe, possibly, some day. Shit or get off the pot. Stop threatening consequences and actually do something for once.

      This reminds me of Trump’s trial where he was threatened like 5 times with contempt, for outbursts in the courtroom. They never actually held him in contempt.

    possible consequences”. So maybe, a slap on the wrist … or more likely, a severe gazing … or even more likely, this warning alone.
    We are so fed up of all this corruption and apathy.

    I wonder who is going to deliver these consequences? Trump owns all the power. This has always been the weakness of our system. Courts mean nothing unless their decisions are enforced.
