Fox News Politics Newsletter: Boasberg V. Trump

In a recent development, the Trump administration is facing contempt charges from a federal judge for failing to comply with an emergency order to halt deportation flights to El Salvador. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg found probable cause to hold the administration in contempt, citing a “willful disregard” for the court’s order.

The order, issued on March 15, temporarily halted all deportation flights to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act. Despite the court’s directive to immediately return all planes bound for El Salvador, the Trump administration failed to do so. As a result, hundreds of migrants were deported to El Salvador and detained in a maximum-security prison.

The tensions between the Trump administration and the judiciary have escalated, with Judge Boasberg’s decision marking a significant turning point. The administration’s defiance of the court’s order has raised concerns about the rule of law and the separation of powers.

Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, there are several key developments to keep an eye on. Elise Stefanik is considering a bid for governor of New York, while the Kentucky senate race is heating up with signs pointing to Andy Barr joining the field. Additionally, House Republicans have launched a new task force to combat Mexican cartels, led by Rep. Dan Crenshaw.

In other news, bipartisan senators are pushing for tougher penalties for foreign-backed crimes on U.S. soil, while Senate Republican DOGE leader Joni Ernst faces her first Democratic challenger in the 2026 race. Progressive lawmakers like Bernie Sanders and AOC are gearing up for the midterms, with an eye on defeating key opponents like JD Vance.

Across America, there are ongoing battles over immigration policy and market manipulation. Colorado Democrats are diverting taxpayer dollars to fight the Trump administration in court, while the HUD is seeing a significant number of staff resignations. Additionally, ICE partnerships are being touted as building “public trust,” while Letitia James is reviewing possible insider trading related to the president’s tariff decisions.
