U.S. District Judge James Boasberg has certainly thrown a wrench into the machinery of justice, blocking President Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act to boot out members of the terrorist gang Tren de Aragua. It’s a move that has many scratching their heads, wondering if the judicial branch has decided to start issuing sports referees’ cards to criminals. The Department of Justice has responded, claiming that this meddling by the court is nothing more than a “grave incursion” on the authority of the Executive Branch, which everyone knows is code for “stay in your lane, judge.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi made it clear that the DOJ isn’t about to roll over and play dead. In a recent legal filing, she called for the court to vacate the hearing that had been set up to grill the Trump administration over its plans for deporting suspected gang members. Bondi’s comments highlight the outrageousness of the situation, as the judge has denied the administration’s requests, effectively siding with those who stand up for criminal aliens while ignoring the safety of law-abiding Americans.
The timing of this whole charade couldn’t be more suspect. Just as the Trump administration was preparing to deport nearly 300 illegal alien gang members linked with the Tren de Aragua and bloodthirsty MS-13, the ACLU swooped in with a lawsuit. It’s no secret that the ACLU is more interested in defending criminals than protecting citizens. That strategy seems to have worked well for them, at least for now, as they succeeded in stalling the government’s efforts to remove these gang members and keep American streets safer.
So district trial judges have more authority than the AG?
DOJ Argues ‘Court Lacks the Jurisdiction’ After Judge Blocks Trump Use of Alien Enemies Acthttps://t.co/zcK3QiZcHU

In a bid to assure the public that they are still in control, the DOJ noted that they complied with the court’s temporary restraining order. However, they were quick to argue that the judge’s unprecedented assertion of power to review the President’s actions is both unprecedented and totally out of line. The DOJ believes that the courts should not play referee in matters of national security, especially when the stakes are so high and the dangers so pressing.
Bondi didn’t mince words in her condemnation of the judicial overreach. She accused Boasberg of prioritizing the rights of Tren de Aragua terrorists over the safety of ordinary Americans. The backlash against this ruling is palpable, as many now wonder how many more steps must be taken before the judicial branch starts acting like it actually cares about American citizens. Bondi emphasized that the DOJ remains committed to working alongside the White House and Homeland Security to block this invasion—something that should be a priority for every American. It’s time for the court to recognize that national security is a top concern and stop coddling those who would do our country harm.
