Judge James Boasberg, the chief judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, criticized the Trump administration's inadequate response regarding the deportation of Venezuelan migrants, labeling it "woefully insufficient" and suggesting possible evasion of his orders. Boasberg had previously issued a temporary block on these deportations, questioning the application of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to the alleged Venezuelan gang members. Despite this, deportation flights proceeded, leading Boasberg to demand a detailed explanation from the Justice Department by the following Tuesday. The administration cited national security concerns and considered invoking the state secrets privilege, a claim met with skepticism by the judge. President Trump responded by calling for Boasberg's impeachment, a move rebuked by Chief Justice John Roberts, who emphasized that disagreements with judicial decisions should be addressed through appeals, not impeachment.
