Federal Judge James E. Boasberg has found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt for defying his order to halt deportation flights carrying alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador. Judge Boasberg determined that the administration demonstrated willful disregard for his March 15 injunction, which halted the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport these migrants. The violation could lead to contempt proceedings and potential prosecution of the officials involved. The judge indicated that the government could purge the contempt by taking corrective actions, such as returning the deported individuals to the United States. If not, the court may launch hearings and refer the matter for prosecution.
