District Judge James Boasberg finds probable cause to hold Trump admin in contempt
A recent development in the ongoing battle between the Trump administration and the judiciary has brought tensions to a new high. Federal Judge James Boasberg announced on Wednesday that he has found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt for failing to return two planes deporting migrants to El Salvador last month.
In a filing on Wednesday, Boasberg ordered the Justice Department to answer additional questions by April 23 in order to “purge” the contempt. The judge’s decision was based on the government’s “willful disregard” for his previous order, leading him to conclude that there is probable cause for criminal contempt.
This latest development underscores the escalating conflict between the Trump administration and the judiciary. The administration’s actions have been met with increasing scrutiny and pushback from the courts, highlighting the ongoing power struggle between the executive branch and the judicial branch.
