Judge Won’t Lift Block He Imposed On Trump Admin

Judge James Boasberg might want to check the Constitution before he tries to play Secretary of State, Director of Homeland Security, and President of the United States all in one. The man is a district court judge—not the Commander-in-Chief—and yet here he is, trying to ground deportation flights and demand classified intel on known foreign gang members like he’s briefing the Joint Chiefs. It’s absurd. Thankfully, Attorney General Pam Bondi just delivered a swift, legal version of “sit down and shut up.”

This whole showdown is centered around the deportation of nearly 300 Venezuelan nationals—alleged members of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang—who the Trump administration is actively trying to remove from U.S. soil. But Boasberg, in true activist-judge fashion, decided to throw a wrench in the gears by ordering planes not to leave U.S. airspace—or, worse, to turn around if they’d already taken off. Just imagine the audacity: a district judge trying to reverse the course of international deportation flights midair. It’s hard to believe this isn’t a scene out of some bad Netflix legal drama.

Bondi wasn’t having it. Appearing on Fox News, she laid it out plainly: this judge doesn’t have the authority to hijack foreign policy decisions. That power rests solely with the executive branch, and last time we checked, James Boasberg wasn’t elected to run the country. Trump was. And if Boasberg wants to meddle in matters of national security, he better be ready for some pushback.

That pushback came in the form of Bondi invoking the State Secrets Privilege, slamming the door shut on Boasberg’s request for classified info about the deportation operation. And let’s be clear—that’s exactly the right move. You don’t hand over sensitive intelligence to a judge fishing for headlines and appeasing the ACLU. This isn’t a game, and it’s not up for judicial micromanagement.

Then Trump warns him of not creating a constitutional crisis with his orders. Will the judge listen? Probably not.

And of course, Boasberg’s leftist defenders have already crawled out of the woodwork, clutching their pearls and claiming that Trump is “attacking the judiciary.” But let’s call this what it is: a judicial insurrection. These activist judges are not interpreting law—they’re rewriting it from the bench and usurping powers that clearly belong to the president. And when Trump dares to call it out, the establishment has a collective fainting spell. Chief Justice John Roberts even issued one of his patented passive-aggressive rebukes last week, trying to pretend there’s no such thing as a political judge. Right. Tell that to the ones blocking the deportation of gang members while citing “humanitarian concerns.”

Boasberg’s antics are the clearest example yet of how the left is trying to weaponize the courts to obstruct Trump at every turn. This isn’t about oversight—it’s about resistance in a robe. But here’s the thing: this time, the Trump administration came prepared. Bondi made it crystal clear they’ll be back in court Monday, and they will win. Because the law—and common sense—is on their side.

Secretary of State Mark Rubio also made a declaration:

As well as Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland:

So let the judicial activists rage. Let the media run interference. The American people are watching this circus, and they know exactly what’s going on. Boasberg and his buddies want to keep dangerous foreign criminals in our country and pretend it’s compassion. Trump wants to deport them and protect Americans. That’s not tyranny. That’s leadership.

And if Judge Boasberg thinks a bench and a gavel give him control over international airspace and classified operations, he’s in for a rude awakening. This isn’t his sandbox. This is national security. And it’s not up for debate.
