Judge finds probable cause to hold administration in contempt

A federal judge finds probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt for violating his deportation order. Last month, the Trump administration failed to return two deportation flights after the judge ordered the planes be turned around. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said “the Constitution does not tolerate willful disobedience of judicial orders ” and he could refer the matter for prosecution. He said the administration could “purge” its contempt by returning the deportees from El Salvador. But the White House responded by saying it will “seek immediate appellate relief.” GC, Wash.
