Trump DOJ Invokes State Secrets Privilege, Tells Judge Boasberg it will Provide Him No More Info on Deportation Flights
2025-03-25
[Gateway] The Trump DOJ said it is exercising the State Secrets Privilege and informed Judge James Boasberg it will no longer provide him with any information related to deportation flights.

Boasberg, an Obama appointee, has been grilling DOJ lawyers about the Trump Administration’s move to deport dangerous Venezuelan aliens under the Alien Enemies Act.

Judge Boasberg said Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport criminal aliens is "incredibly troublesome and problematic" and threatened the Trump Admin with consequences if they violate his order in the future.

On Monday evening, the DOJ had enough of Judge Boasberg’s intrusive orders and invoked the State Secrets Privilege.
Delicious.
